Austin letterboxing


My LSS and I took a trip to the state capital, Austin last week-end for a convention. With my suitcase and clues in hand, I was so excited to get to see some boxes in Austin. My first stop was in Round Rock, where I was disappointed when I was unable to find the box. I did see the Round Rock in the stream where the city got it's name. Very interesting!!
Leaving Round Rock, we made our way to Oakwood cemetery where there was a Civil War enactment going on and a funeral. We were very respectful of both. Luckily, the box was in a different part of the cemetery. This was a neat stamp and good location. It was the first time I got a stamp that was carved by Gingercat.
With maps and clues in hand we traveled over to stamp in the Bevo Box. I was unable to find it and was very disappointed, as this was one I really wanted. Also, the Texas Size Box was near here but, it is missing.
I was only able to find one of the four boxes on Saturday, and the rain kept me inside on Sunday. That only means there will have to be another trip to Austin for the boxes by The Brown Knight and Team Texas. I am looking forward to the time I will be able to go back. I had a wonderful week-end and it was fun looking for all the boxes.
