Philly Boxes

OK - We're experienceing a break in the weather.

The goal: 4 to 6 Boxes in the Fairmount Park area. Unfortunately,
I doubt we'll get anywhere *near* the Boards and Bridges box,
as the Big Bike Race rides through Manayunk today.

Wish us luck!

Go for it, ACE!!! Let me know how you made out. Still too soggy
around Doylestown.

The Belmont Caskets are safe and sound, dry and hidden -
replaced where found.

Pico - we made GEKO scramble up for the last one.
"Yeah - that's it, go fer it, kid!"
We're very bad guardians, it would seem. :)

Three in one day! *Looks at watch* And plenty of daylight left!
Onward!

On to "Quaker Yarn" - Oh my .... Nice hike. *huff-puff*
And a marvelous view. Tough find - Made easier with Kinz's help,
seeing as he had stamped it earlier this week.
Note to self and WebMaster- The initials mentioned in the clue
on the Beech Tree are "J.B." - NOT "J.E."

Next stop:
The Monestary Box -

Urp - OK.... After an hour, we surrendered. Beaten. Stampless.
We didn't understand what a HEPP was, nor an UNTRAIL.

Definition of a LONG WALK ... It's the walk BACK to the car -
WITHOUT a stamp. *groan*

Anyone find this box recently?

And FORGET Body Parts .... We were BUSHED!

Good time, and feelin' the pain.

Next week!! The Silver God and Bowman's Hill!!

Quaker Yarn is a rocking box with an amazing view. I did eventually
find Monastery, though it took some doing...and as for Body Parts, you
can't possibly have been as lost as I was, but I'm sort of glad to
hear I'm not the only person who came away in total defeat. :)
