SE Ohio - Damp but successful boxing evening

From: Bob McCoy (bigguy9210@yahoo.com) | Date: 2003-08-10 02:43:22 UTC
CardinalMom, the kids, and I braved intermitent rain, oppressive
humidity, and ravenous mosquitos this evening to find 4 boxes in the
Bainbridge area.

First we found franzsolo's Rest Area and Java (2 stamps - a bonus!).
Both dry, in good shape, and wonderful stamps as always. Only the
ever-present Wanda from RI fish stamp in the logs ahead of ours. Is
there anywhere she hasn't been? Does she ever sleep?

Then, on to Paint Creek S.P. to ferret out Salamander's Mallard
Fillmore and Bearfoot In The Park. Pack Rat was most happy to be
stamped in as first finder for these. Both boxes are dry and in good
shape with really nice hand carved stamps. The Mallard Fillmore
stamp is somewhat of an optical illusion - you can turn it ninety
degrees and it still looks like what it's supposed to only it's
facing the other way? How'd they do that???

These were all our favorite type boxes - short to moderate walks,
nice stamps, lovely places, and good clues. Keep up the good work!
