CA: SF Bay area boxes found, not found

CSCM and Rustypuff had a great time in California!

We were very pleased to have the opportunity to exchange with
LizardButtsFamily (The Hiker aka The Hungry Eye, Lizard Butt, and
Bookworm), 3vix aka Miss Vickie, Princess Lea, Sleepy Cat, and
Doublesaj. Our visit to the Jelly Belly factory was a lot of fun,
and we bought way too many bags of Belly Flops!

Miss Vickie introduced us to a very dangerous stamp store in
Fairfield, Stamp Heaven. The proprietress was unaware of our hobby
but was psyched to learn about it. It sounds like she may be
creating a store box of her own soon.

Here are the boxes we found during our vacation:

Los Gatos Creek Trail #1
Bull in the Redwoods
Loma Prieta Earthquake
Alameda Creek Trail (4)
Where the Buffalo Roam
Meyer's Ranch (2)
Tolman's Peak (2)
Message in the Haunted Mansion (5)
Tilden Park (2)
Trefoil Girl Scout Cookie
Sushi House

The following boxes were not found:

Leafy (this box is no longer listed in the LbNA website -- probably
for good reason!)
Ruth's Hybrid (we found out later we were looking in the wrong place)
Ocean Beach (right place, no box)
Alum Rock Park#2 (we've already contacted the placer about his one)

Thanks to all the placers, and to all we met who welcomed us to their
home territories. We look forward to returning in a few years and
seeing you all again!

PS: We just have to brag, although it has nothing to do with
letterboxing -- we got to ride a Segue at the Tech Museum in San
Jose! Very cool! If the price ever comes down, we picture
letterboxers Seque-ing all over the place!
