Meeting Letterboxers in San Antonio

I was lucky enough to schedule an exchange with SHH and Padawan as they were taking another cross-country field trip. So, on Monday, I headed south from Navarro County towards San Antonio. I stopped first in Waco so that I could nab one of Lone Star Quilter's newest boxes, MY SPECIAL ANGEL. After leaving here, I went straight down to San Antonio, checked in to the hotel, ate lunch, and took a break.

I got a call from Padawan to meet up at 7:00, so I headed over to their hotel around 6:15. The ladies arrived, and we got to stamping and talking letterboxing. SHH and Padawan mentioned that they had struck out on finding a couple of Texas letterboxes, so I filed that in brain, hoping that I could remedy that situation. At the end of the visit, we took pictures, and said our goodbyes.
Since I still had some daylight left, I decided to try for a couple of Boots Tex boxes that were somewhat near down town. I easily found Maverick and 13 Days of Glory. I was not disappointed! By this time, I was ready to head back to the hotel room and eat some dinner.

When I got back, I emailed Padawan and SHH and let them know that the two boxes I 'd found this evening were easily accessible, if they wanted to grab them before they headed out Tuesday morning.
On Tuesday morning, I took my time getting up, found an IHOP for breakfast, and took a look at my clues. There was one more Boots Tex box in the same area where I'd been the night before, so I decided to head back to the cemetery. Just as I was pulling into one side of the cemetery, the letterboxers from the beautiful PNW were coming out of the other side ! They had just found one box, but had trouble with the other one, so I offered to go with them to find it. I led the way, then left them to stamp in.

I went on to find BEN'S BONES, then headed to find ALL THE PRETTY HORSES by Silver Eagle. Silver Eagle's box is located at Comanche Lookout. I followed the clues to the top of the lookout and stamped into this box. There were beautiful flowers along the trail on the way up. This was my last box for the day, so I headed back to Navarro County.
