The VA webpages have been updated. I have created "master" webpages
for some of those who place boxes in VA. If you would like a single
page created for your clues contact me offline with the names of the
boxes and I will do so.

Webmaster:
This is our first box posting and I hope we've done it right. We probably will add more boxes so you could call the page Maggie's Family's Boxes or something like that. Here we go. Thanks.
Back Beyond the
Bay
Placed By: Maggies Family
E-mail: maggies.family@verizon.net
Date Placed: 09/16/02
Time: 3-4 hours by bike,
round trip, with stops
Location: Virginia Beach, VA
Difficulty: Serious
walk; fun, easy bike ride.
You wont have to work on Maggies Farm no more
If you follow Maggies Family . . . . . to the shore.
Our first box weve stashed in a beautiful place,
Where people are scarce, yes, hardly a trace.
Its not easy to get to, in fact quite a hike,
So may we suggest that you dust off your bike.
Load up the car and head Back to the Bay,
Youll pass through the bridge of Sand on your way.
Follow Sandpiper south to the Refuge gate,
When you get to the Station, theres no need to wait.
Youll see lots of birds, and horses, and maybe a wild boar,
So pay the five dollars and be glad its not more.
Unload all the bikes and start down the path.
Youve got four miles to go, because we did the math.
Take your water, your camera, your lunch, and embark,
Go down the main path and head for the park.
Youll come to a fork, both trails well-traveled.
But go left on East Dike; we hope youre not baffled.
And whatever you do, dont take the Dune Trail,
Youll end up on the beach and you will have failed.
Youll pass by a sign with a date and a duck.
You may think its there, but oh, no such luck!
We hid it there first, but we did all agree,
It was too easy to find, and theres much more to see!
Peddle on to the park and dont miss the boat,
Veer to the left and be sure to take note.
Youll come to a platform, 22 it is marked,
Stop for a rest, youll be glad that you parked.
Soon youll be at the Station, in a moment or so,
Its quite clean and tidy in case youve Got to GO!
Youll see a small shop and tables (if youve brought something to eat)
Insides a nice man who we think you should meet.
Look all around at this blissful location,
Its a nice place to camp should you be on vacation.
But since youre on a real quest, turn left at the sign,
That reads, Ocean/Beach Camp. Youre close to the find!!
Past the ramp on the left (but what is it for?)
NO! Dont turn right to Washwoods - keep on to the shore.
The trails a bit sandy. Its a little hard going,
We saw horses there -- their manes all aglowing.
When you get to the walkway (its wooden) just park,
Time to walk a ways now so get on your mark.
Step on to the planks and count out your paces,
Fifty, sixty, or more if you wear little shoelaces.
Pass Delicate Dunes and glance right for our riddle,
Youll see some bushes with a dead branch in the middle.
Reach down in the sea grass, but look fore you grab,
Youll discover our prize, and we hope not a crab!
Now once youve stamped in you can do what you likes,
But may we suggest that you get back on your bikes.
Head over the dunes, and we hope its low tide.
Because if it is you are in for a ride!
And even if the tide is a little bit high,
Just follow the beach with the ocean right by.
Its a beautiful site, unspoiled, like a myth,
Must have looked much the same to Capt. John Smith.
Head back whence you came and try not to roam,
NOW take the Dune Trail and find your way home.
So ends your adventure. The day is now done.
Good luck on your next quest. We hope youve had fun.

Great
website! Thanks for the good clues. As soon as we are allowed to go into False
Cape again and the weather is cooler, I'll go looking for it as I live in Va
Beach. Does your family kayak? I've placed a box in NC just over the state line
near Sligo and Moyock, but it's only accessible by kayak or canoe. So far no one
has told me they've found it and I wonder if the clues are too hard or if people
who letterbox are not boaters? Lillie

My family is new to Letterboxing and planted our first box in Virginia Beach
last September. It then took us until early December to get the Poem
written and up on the site. But I am afraid it has gotten lost. It
actually showed up on the What's New page for awhile but has now disappeared
(or at least I cannot find it). Then, when I saw your e-mail that the VA
webpage had been updated, I didn't see it. So I am afraid the clue itself
has disappeared - hope the box is still there.
I am attaching the original e-mail with the clues. Since then, I have
placed it in a webpage at http://mysite.verizon.net/vze2jt4p/ - can you put
it into the webpage the next time you update and, since it does not appear
in What's New, should I republish it in the Group as if it was new? We will
publish a second one this spring and will place it in the web page as well
as that seems to work best.
Lastly, do you have a background called "scroll.gif" that I can have to use
a the background for the clues on the page?
Many questions - thanks for your help.

Lillie,
Very few Letterboxers are
boaters. There are a few boxes on some rivers ( Rogue River , Ore.) but
they can be accessed by other ways. I believe the Paisley Orca has a
couple of flat water boxes in Ca. as well as Ore. We have set up most of
our white water boxes along the Kern river so that they can be reached
along a river trail or just below a rapid. Don

I also checked out your website and thought it was great too. I live in Norfolk. Maybe all the locals should start thinking about a gathering here in Tidewater. I think that there's a bunch of us here. What do you think?

This is our first box posting and I hope we've done it right. We probably will add more boxes so you could call the page Maggie's Family's Boxes or something like that. Here we go. Thanks.
