October - an active month for letterboxing!

Wow - it has been busy lately, but I'm really looking forward to all the letterboxing in store for this month! Gwenllian and I headed out to find B & E's boxes in the Armentrout Preserve in Ambler, PA on Saturday. We had a wonderful morning, finding three boxes along with a bonus box and a hitchhiker!

A few weeks ago, we sent out our hopeful racer in the Great Hitchhiker Race. The WWI Flying Ace has been waiting for a ride at the Schmitz Park Creek Letterbox in Seattle since he was planted there by Amanda from Seattle on September 19, 2004. Eight other racers are raring to go in Seattle, too. The goal is for them to find rides home to the South Mountain Hitchhiker Hostel in Allentown, PA. We hope Snoopy will fly home fast!

I've just ordered a bunch of Mastercarve and can't wait for its arrival! I've got my stamp image all ready for my Steely Dan box for the Plantapalooza in November. This was originally called the Battle of the Bands, organized by Hikers and Hounds. There will be a ton of boxes planted in Tyler State Park in PA - all tributes to great bands. Caite is doing a Groovelily box to commemorate her favorite band. I'm wracking my brains, trying to figure out how to make some really cool clues using Steely Dan lyrics for my box!

Coming up really soon is the 2nd Annual South Jersey Letterboxing Gathering, hosted by letterboxingbee! October 16 is the date, and I can't wait to see everyone again and meet plenty of new people, too!
