It's Finally Here!

We arose early on Sat. morning with great expectation for the event. I made pancakes which were enjoyed by Mother's Love, Lucy Locket, and I. We cleaned-up and got the chili in the crock pot to start warming while we got ready to head over to the pavilion to meet everyone. Arriving at the pavilion, we were greeted by others that had already arrived. Other boxers starting arriving and the exchange frenzy began! It was so much fun seeing the boxers that we have met over the last four years, and meeting a lot of new boxers was a treat.

Highlights:
Mother's Love spending the week-end with us.
Planting my box for which I actually carved the stamp. (my second one)
The park is one of the best Texas has and the new trails combined with their history made a great week-end.
Having a copy machine to print our handwritten clues..Thanks BT and LSQ!
Sitting around at the Group Camp late talking (mostly listening) at the end of the day.
Looking out in the woods from the group camp seeing flashlights along the trails.
Out of state boxers: Lionsmane, Astro D, Goofy Girl, Wanda and Pete.
Silver Eagle and Baby Bear getting their Lifetime Achievement Award.
Boxing with Lucy Locket and Mother's Love Sunday morning.

We missed a lot of the long time boxers that weren't able to make it. Your laughter, smiles and stories of letterboxing are a part of the event I always look forward to.
i know the plans for next year are already in the works, and I looking forward to it.
See you next year!

T.A. L.E. 6 Camp

We had said "Hello" to Boots Tex and Lone Star Quilter earlier, so we decide to pay a visit to there camp site and have a chat. It was so nice visiting with this couple and learning some more interesting Texas history. They have the Texas Circus Box, I am wondering what they will do to make it available here at the event? I KNOW they have something up their sleeves. I cooked our dinner, we had peas, fried cornbread, stir-fried veggies…yummy! I used Olive oil, which made it even better. Mother’s Love decided to “camp out” with us, sleeping in her SUV. The night was cool, just right for sleeping. Can’t wait to see everyone Sat.
