It was two years ago yesterday that I found my first letterbox. I was just thinking today how it seems only yesterday that I began this adventure. I will never forget the excitement I felt when I saw that box! Even though I live in Texas, I am originally from Vicksburg, MS. I was there on June 18, 2005 to take care of some personal business, and had taken a clue with me. I thought this would be a good time to at least look for a box. Lucy Locket and I had researched letterboxing and wanted to give it a try. We had our trail names and bought sig stamps to get started. I guess, knowing my way around Vicksburg was one of the deciding factors of finding my first box there. We made our way down to a park that is on the banks of the Mississippi River where "Gibraltar of the Confederacy" planted by Corazon was located. I attempted to look but, decided Lucy Locket might find it quicker. There were several people there and we did not want to give away the location of the box. Lucy Locket made her way to the box while I took some pictures. She brought the treasure to the car and we both were so excited!!! We were HOOKED!! I do love this hobby, and the one thing I like most about it is spending time with Lucy Locket, Stinky Monkey and Roarin' Lion. We have a new little boxer that I can't wait to introduce to my favorite pastime!! We are still working on her trail name, and can't wait for her experience the thrill of "finding Clues".
