From: wanda4wanda (wanda4wanda@yahoo.com) | Date: 2003-03-30 17:20:52 UTC
today i found my first Letterbox....the Nolan Ryan Center
letterbox...in alvin tx....

it took me a bit since i am directionally illiterate AND dont know
what degrees are..hehehe...ssoooo i hit about 4 trees...poked and
prodded with my stick and moved what i could....then "pinnkk" i hit
something...sounds like plastic..hhhmmm...poked a bit more...then
moved what i could and looked closer and there was a plastic
container....BINGO!!!!!!!!! pulled it out....stamped with my store
bought stamp (sorry i cheated) stamped with the Nolan Ryan
stamp...signed the book....then put everything back together and back
well hidden in the same spot......

so i now have 1 letterbox and 2 Geocaches without a gps unit...

so fun...and i would never have been to the nolan ryan center
otherwise since i dont live around here....

keep up the hiding!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-- Congratulations Wanda!
We have (I mean this with only the highest regards) an old Wanda
(F2200) and now a new Wanda (F3). Should we call you Wanda2 or do you
prefer Texas Wanda. Just trying to keep who's who straight.
