Letterboxing Holiday--Day Three

Our final day of the trip turned out to be the prettiest as far as weather goes--No Rain! We started out by heading to Bane Park to pick up a seasonal box placed by Dewberry. When we pulled into the park, we realized we'd been here before, to get Mother of Five's TX SNOWMAN and a few others. We easily found HE'S LOOKIN' AT YOU! then headed off to find some more.

We headed out to Cole's Crossing where I had hidden HITCHIN' A RIDE back in June. I wanted to check on it as well as find BURIED TREASURE and try again to find GAS CHAMBER. When we got to the starting point, we saw a huge tree that was in the path which led to GAS CHAMBER. I was hoping that we could still manage to find it if we went the other way around the loop trail. So, we started out by finding my box first. BB followed the clues to the box and stamped in. Everything in the box was in good shape.

We went on around the path to hunt down some BURIED TREASURE. After BB found the hidey-hole, we claimed our prize. Next, we decided to continue around and see if we could find Baby Bear's box. We came across a couple of places where there was large amounts of forest debris on the trail, but we followed it back to a good starting point to find this box. BB followed the clues back to where the LB should have been, and I managed to spot the LB laying out in the open. I was glad I came back to find this one! Baby Bear's boxes have got a sense of humor to them! After stamping in and rehiding the box, we made our way back out of the trail and to the van.

We drove around to another part of Cypress and found three more Baby Bear boxes. One of them being RETIRED EAGLE. I'd been wanting to stamp into this box honoring Baby Bear's brother, and I was not disappointed. After all, what better way to honor a letterboxer, right?

We made our way to a pocket park in Cypress and stamped into FIRE IN THE HOLE. I didn't know what to expect from this stamp, but it is definitely worth finding!

For our last box of the day, we decided to go find a puzzle box that Blue Butterfly had solved a few weeks ago. We made our way back into the Houston area and found a great park with lots of different activities. We made our way around to the box location, but we couldn't find it. We were really disappointed to have missed out on the box, but happy to have visited this particular park. Finally, it was time for us to head home.
