Attempted Nepenthe Yesterday...

From: Tara (tarasdsu@yahoo.com) | Date: 2004-06-13 17:27:54 UTC
And sat there and STARED AT where it was hidden for 20 minutes
waiting for all of the people around me to leave. The didn't of
course, and so I left, alone. :( That sucked. I would have
attempted to get it on the sly, but two guys were sitting about two
feet from it, and to do that I would have had to basically sit down
right next to them and join in on their conversation. :P I'll have
to go back on a foggy day or after sunset.
On a brighter side, I've never been to that place before, so it was
neat to do something new :)

Yep! We need to send you to improvisational acting school... I know exactly where the guys were sitting, and w/o giving anything away about this box to the rest of LbNCA, I think you could've pulled it off. All you needed to do was get to the other side of them by going on the rocks, then creep up from the other side to reach it. I know from experience, because I stopped by to monitor the box one day, and that's what I did while people were sitting right there.

You could've also pretended to be looking for lost keys or something. They wouldn't have been at the right angle to see you pull out the box. Or you could have been pretending to find a good spot to listen to the "Oracle".

Anyway, it's such a nice place to visit over and over. It was a Friday afternoon on a crystal clear day when I planted it. I had the place to myself, and ended up just enjoying it for a whole hour.

Maybe we should post a sign that says, "Letterboxers Only!".

Okay, now I am getting obsessed. Last night I had a dream about
Nepenthe, lol. I dreamt that I went back, and there were a whole
bunch of people still...so I thought of your advice...I decided
I'd "drop" my watch into the area so that I have an excuse to poke
around in there. It took me forever to get the darn thing off and
was very loud. But I did it, and the stamp was really cool...all I
remember was that there were clouds and I wanted to stamp it in a
light blue color (who says we don't dream in color?!?).
Unfortunately tomorrow my husband and I are leaving town for a few
days, and wont get to re-attempt Nepenthe until we get back...I hope
it doesnt haunt me every night I'm gone!! LOL

Welcome to the club. I had dreams about Funhog's Hidden Dragon in
Oregon. In the dream I even reached (unharmed!) into a fire to
retrieve the box. The dreams went away after my success on the third
try!

And here I thought it was just me! Is obsession to the point of dreaming about them an essential part of the letterboxing experience? :-)
