Jack-O-Lanterns!

Roarin' Lion, Stinkey Monkey and Baby Sister.


We had been to visit Stinky Monkey, Raoarin’ Lion and Baby Sister back in July, and had a great time. I decided it had been way too long since I had a hug from them and took off for Mississippi Friday Oct. 10th. This time, I took their Letterboxing bakcpacks so we could try for at least one box on this visit.I knew they would love to carve a pumpkin, so I made a stop at Wal-Mart and purchased all the necessary tools for the job. We had a blast! Baby Sister tried to get in on the act as much as possible. Here are the results of the artistic abilities of Stinky Monkey and Roarin' Lion. Future stamp carvers for sure!

Bright, Cool Morning

Cooler tempertures always brings out the 'boxer in me. I love it when the Summer begins to fade away to Fall and cooler days. Today was just one of those really nice unexpected days, that is perfect for to be out on the trail. There was a couple of boxes that I have wanted to find for a while, but just haven't taken the time to print out the clue and venture over to where they are located. Finally today, I had a free Sat. and wanted to find The Lost Rose and The Tomato Farmer. The family history is what drew me to these boxes, and I must say, the location was a quiet, out of the way place that I enjoyed. I was there just at the right time to capture the sun streaming throught the trees. Needless to say, I lingered here and taking in the natural beauty and watched a racoon scurry across the road.


Other boxes I stamped in today:
The Whistler
A Tale of Two Cities
Pete Lammons
Gunsmith to Millions of Cowboys

I timed it just right to grab some lunch and drive over to my favorite spot in Cherokee County....Love's LookOut! A nice breeze was blowing across the picnic tables as I enjoyed the my lunch, the view and quiet reflections.
