first time!
Whew!...After a very slow going and frustrating first day, and a long
but productive 2nd day that left us both unable to walk and eating
Advil like candy, we were able to pick up the pace, get lucky at
times and have the Letterboxing gods smile on us. We hit our 100th
box with "The Big House"! A little cool by the lake for most of the
weekend, a little rain at the beginning, but very nice at the end.
We didn't make it to Grand Traverse, Grand Rapids, or Kalamazoo as
planned, but we had a great time and will be back again.
Some other notes....Forgot clues for "Spring Fling"
Looked without any solid ideas for De Zwann
Spent 4 hours looking for Tulip Time
Twist...frustrating...couldn't find it and had
to give up:(
Holland Harbor Light is missing!

We think that's it!...Will this sickness ever end?!?!?!

From: SpringChick (springchick@letterbox-mi.com) |

Wow! That is quite the letterboxing marathon, and some long days! I
was looking at a couple of those days, thinking I would have to push
to get all of those boxes checked in that amount of time, and I know
where I am going, and a few shortcuts! Great job, sounds like a fun
weekend (all except those darn sand dunes).
And thanks for the report, it is really appreciated. A few that you
found had been reported to possibly be missing by others, so it was
good to hear they are intact. Another group also reported the
Holland Lighthouse box missing over the weekend, hope you didn't
spend too much time there. They did however, find the DeZwaan
Windmill box. As for Tulip Time Twist... I know you had the right
park. I stopped there a few days ago and the box was safe and sound,
but I certainly see where that one could get you twisted around!
Congrats on your 100th find!
Deb (SpringChick)
(who needs to stop placing boxes and start finding boxes to get
anywhere near 100...)
