This Week in Boxing

This past week has been very productive, and very interesting for me. It was a quiet week compared to most, but a few impressive things, and great moments did occur. JBBK came out for a 5 day visit, and of course we spent several days letterboxing. We searched out some boxes that had been planted since her last trip, and some boxes that had been on my to do list for awhile.

And of course we had to take Jack of Hearts and King of Hearts to the pumpkin farm. So in the rain, we set out for Iron Kettle Farms and picked out pumpkins, got some of their great home made fudge, and King of Hearts even won a bag full of goodies playing pumpkin golf. After we finished taking pictures, it was time to brave the rain and do some letterboxing.

We picked up 7 letterboxes, all of which could be considered drive bys. But by the end of the day, JBBK was soaked to the bone, and I was not much better off. The stamps we paid tribute to those that fell in the line of duty, helped those less fortunate, reached amazing letterboxing goals, and just really neat places to visit and stories that needed to be told.

JBBK headed back to Indiana on Sunday and I picked up 2 boxes based on childrens classic stories. Monday, a nice fall day, I was able to clear 4 boxes from my to do list, plus get one box that was just planted by a local Girl Scout Cadette group. I headed out Tuesday to a local library to grab a box, and when I logged my find, I was amazed to see that my F-count was 475. But something was happening outside.

It was snowing. Not alot, but enough to let you know that winter is coming. So I headed to the doctors on Wednesday with a stack of clues for boxes in that area. Just a week ago, I was brushing leaves off of boxes to find them, now I was brushing off 2 inches of snow to get to the leaves. 3 boxes and 1 hitch hiker later I was off to the eye doctor. I went back to get 3 more boxes before heading home to log my finds. Once I logged them I realized that I had hit another milestone. I had found 101 in October, and there are still 2 days left in the month and I plan on boxing them both.

Who knows maybe I will get lucky and hit 500 before I hit 7 months?
