Daingerfield SP


Psguru and I decided to take a trip up to Daingerfield SP Saturday and find some boxes that have been planted there for at least a year. I thought this would be a good place to go find some boxes and PSGuru could take pictures. We were not disappointed in the boxes or the park. Even he commented how nice it was. Beautiful lake and the trails are well maintained. I was looking for a series by JKC, Texas Wildlife Series Box #8 is missing. I hope these boxes last a while, but the placer isn't actively boxing, and I am afraid they will go by the wayside. Another one they palced is Danger! Which is also missing, but neither box has been updated even though several people have "attempted" at least one of them. I hope my email will encourage an update on their boxes. We had a great time and thankfully, again no rain. It did pour down on the way home, but I had all my images and wasn't bothered a bit. Now, it's back to work for me next week!

Bethlehem Baptist Church Est. 1854



It was after 4:00 when I left Mckinney and made my way to Farmersville, to find two boxes in the cemetery beside Bethlehem Baptist Church.



Boots Tex placed Brother Ben here and Lone Star Quilter The Quilter's Cross. I enjoyed to drive here as, I passed several big ranches (on the way in and out), and the views were really nice. I was still hoping it wouldn't rain before I stamped in these boxes and I could call it a day, and head home. The grass was wet, but no standing water, so I made it pretty good in my flip-flops. I found and stamped in Brother Ben, and was about to stamp in The Quilter's Cross, when someone pulled up to the church and got out. I hurriedly got the image in my logbook and put it back safely. An interesting fact about this church, is, Brother Ben was Boots Tex's Great-great Grandfather! Thanks for placing these boxes!
