Babybear!!!! Thank you so much for making the trip to find my
letterboxes AND for placing some more down here for me to find!
I am amazed by your itinerary! As the saying goes, "If I'd have
known you were coming I'd have baked a cake!"... which to a
letterboxer translates, "If I'd have known you were coming I would
have planted more boxes."
Feel free to relax while I start working on more letterboxes, since
I now have my second wind! LOL!
Oh, about my 'Pencil Me In' letterbox... I will visit it tomorrow
with bug spray, gloves, and a hooked stick to try to take it back
from the fire ants. Wish me luck! ;)
Thanks again!

Hope you find it, and I didn't waste your time. I tried my best to
locate, but 1st time I stopped a guy was selling eggs there. I came
back later and another guy was sleeping in his car about 20 yards
away. I quitely snuck over and searched, but could not find. Hope
to have all my clues posted by end of weekend. This will give you
something to go after also. Thanks for hides!!!
