Fried Green Tomatoes

Each year during the Tomato Fest in Jacksonville, BarefootLucy has an event. This year was the best one yet!!! She was very mysterious about the clues, even when and where we would receive them. Lucy Locket and I anxiously awaited the clues to be posted so that we could begin the task of ciphering out where the boxes were going to be. The evening before the event, Lucy began to send out clues to each one of us with a grid of the venders that would be set-up at the Fest. I printed out all the clues plus had a map that I thought might help us on the journey we were about to be a part of.
With Lucy Locket’s help, we had just about everything in place to begin the adventure. We met Puddle Splasher, Nac Trail Cat at the WalMart parking place and layed out a plan. Nac Trail Cat had lived in Jacksonville for several years and knew just where to go. We just beat another car for the parking place that was fairly close to where we were to start. Our first stop was a booth for the local softball team where they were selling raffle tickets to further their journey to state championships. We thought there might be a clue at this booth but, that was not the case. We walked along the midway, and spotted Bee Mom. We were to give her the Bible verse for letter boxer’s. Do know what it is? Think about “asking” ;) With that clue in hand we called BFL, and she gave us a clue to the first box we needed to find. I still don’t know what an “Asian Jasmine” looks like, because Gryzzled Gryphon and Frost Maiden already had the box and were stamping in. We were able to find the clues to four more boxes and made our way around the Fest running into several other boxer’s as we went. Those in attendance were:

Barefoot Lucy, Puddle Splasher, GG, Frost Maiden, LL, Adams Trails, JBK, Maydell Quenn Bee, PrincessA, Nac Trail Cat, PurpleNIc, Lady Bug Tree, Beach Bum Tx. And Pink Cookie. We met at Legend’s and had a great time exchanging and catching up with each other’s adventure’s.

It was so nice to ride around Jacksonville, with Nac Trail Cat, LL and Puddle Splasher. Purple Nic and Lady Bug Tree rode with us out to beautiful Lake Jacksonville.

Oh yea, Jacksonville tomatoes are the best!!! I stopped back by the fest on the way home and got some nicely ripe ones AND my favorite, green tomatoes to fry! Yummy!!!
