Yesterday, Old Blue and I had the outstanding experience of going out
on a hog hunt in Red Bluff, CA. Happy to report 15 beautiful and
amazing hogs bagged (and released, of course) plus an additional 2
and a little hitchhiker to boot! The kicker was that we met, on the
way out, another couple just going in for a hunt of their own--
Mysterygal and Boatman! So COOL!! (An additional box to be listed
soon. . .)
This was a 2-day venture as the 102* heat forced us in on Thursday to
return Friday morning with temps starting out about 25* cooler. Took
us 3+ hours to get them all each being found with no trouble. (Great
clues, Don & Gwen!) What a wonderful tribute to our vernerable
letterboxer friend, Funhog.
Continued north and found 2 actual Funhog boxes (among others) at Mt.
Shasta and So. Oregon. Was surprised to see so few had stamped in
before us==5 and 6 respectfully and we were the first to stamp in
this year! Get out there and find these wonderful plants by That
Great Hog.

Yesterday we went up to Red Bluff--seven hours of driving, and about
four of boxing. Wow. As soon as we got up there, the Boxdar was
turned on and we could find some of them without really needing to
even read the clues. It also being a bit desolate and windswept,
that's how I imagine Dartmoor must be. We still ran out of daylight,
so we didn't get ALL of the boxes up there. If you haven't gone yet,
you should go NOW, when it's cold and windy. It was amusing reading
people's comments about the sun and heat and brambles, and I was
actually a little cold. It was a marvelous day, and great fun was had
by all. dorks anonymous of dem xx men
