If memory serves, it is the anniversary of the birth of our intrepid west coast 'boxer, Princess Lea. We see by her post that she's been 'boxing in the southern part of the state, a perfectly splendid way to spend a special day.

Many, many more!

Subj: [LbNCA] Central Coast Report







I've had a couple of days to settle down from my quickie trip to the San Luis Obispo area,
and here's my report of finds and attempts for future reference:

FINDS (boxes Alive & Well)
Little Bastard
Dead Man's Party
Moonstone Castle
Homestead Big Sur (2)
The Lorax
Canyon Owl
Way Cool
Jade Cove
Arrrgh! Pirate's Cove
Mission San Luis Obispo
Stamp Luis Obispo
Camelot #2 and #5
Los Osos Oaks #1
Send Me An Angel
Eucalyptus Grove
Stairway to Heaven
Mission Nuestra Senora de la Soledad

ATTEMPTS
Astonishing Creatures: Sea Anemones (I was SUPER bummer this one was missing)
Big Sur Marathon
Can O Spam
Nature Box
Camelot #3 and #4 (3 appears to missing, 4 is probably still there but I was suffering from
heat-addled brain and couldn't figure out which tree I was supposed to search)
Elephant Seals (thanks to Sierra Sally for the short notice clue - unfortuantely it looks like
the volunteers clean up there quite often and the box was gone - found a suspicious rock
that should have been guarding it; did see some real elephant seals though, as well as the
zebras at Hearst Castle!)

I also planted 2 boxes along the way while I was down there.

Unfortunately I was greatly hampered by LbNA being down during the time I was visiting -
the majority of the SLO boxes are LbNA only and I didn't have printed copies. I am
particularly annoyed at missing the Big Sur Vista box for lack of information - I was RIGHT
THERE.

Also, I don't think Stamp Luis Obispo was meant to be a word of mouth only clue, but the
box is not listed anywhere, not LbNA or AQ. I think it is safe to mention here on our list: it
is at the stamp store in SLO, on Chorro St. It was sitting on top of the cash register,
patiently awaiting visitors - I was the first to stamp in since 2004! I meant to get in
earlier, but seems like every time I am SLO, it is Sunday when the shop is not open.
