Christmas Solo Trip-Day Two

On Monday morning, I woke up and headed toward Brazos Bend State Park. This park is known for it's alligators. However, I didn't see any since most of them are camping out at the bottom of the water.

My first box to find of the day was Silver Eagle's Brazos Bend. I easily found it safe and sound in it's hidey hole. Next on the list was Keen Observer by Team King. I made my way to the observation tower, climbed up and enjoyed the view. After I climbed down, I found and stamped into the box, then made my way down the path to find Strong Poison.

It was now time for me to go to a different part of the park to find a few other letterboxes. My next box to stamp into was Wish Upon A Star by SoccerChik. I opened up the box and looked through the logbook. There were two notes from park volunteers who were picking up litter, found the box, then returned it to it's hiding spot. I thought it was great that these people were kind enough to understand that this letterbox was not actually litter.

The next box I was going after was Baby Bear's Star Gazer. I wasn't sure I would be able to find this one because he stated in his clue that there had been some hurricane damage and he wasn't sure if the box was in the right place. I followed his clues, taking the number of steps he indicates, but did not see the sign to which he refers. I go into the woods, just guessing as I'm looking until I see a suspicious rock at the base of a tree. WOO HOO! I found the box! I eagerly stamped in, enjoying the peace and quiet. After rehiding the box, I made my way back to the trail head.

It was time for me to find another Team King box. I made my way around the pond and found Bonnie Parker. After stamping in, it was time to make my way to another part of the park to find a couple of more boxes.

My last two boxes of the day were LA and the TLRE and Good Luck. After finding these last two historic boxes, it was time for me to head back to the hotel and get a good night's rest!!
