While I still have a long way to go before getting anywhere near
so many of my letterboxing heroes, I am excited to say that I
reached PFX 100 today! This small milestone represents a lot of
fun memories for me. I can't believe how many fun and
incredible people I have met along the way and how many great
adventures I've had while I was at it. Thanks A-bear for your
encouragement and boxes. While I'm thrilled to finally have a
few other boxers here in ID, I have to admit, it's almost a little sad
to give up our distinction of being the lone "Idaho Girls." Thanks
also to the great boxers traveling through who I now count as
friends such as Don and Gwen, Butterfly in Conn., dvn2r skr,
Paisley Orca, etc (it's late and I'm sure I'm leaving some out
since I'm not thinking clearly at the moment). To qoute (or
misquote as it may be) Williams, "I rely upon the kindness of
strangers."
I know that this is still not a huge number to many, but
considering that there were only two letterboxes that I could find
within hundreds of miles when I started last March, I'm pretty
pleased with my numbers and all the fun they represent. I am
looking forward to warmer weather so I can get out again (I think
letterboxing may be a bit easier w/o a foot or two of snow). On
the other hand, the bad weather gives me a chance to start
working on my ideas for planting some new boxes.
I've tried to keep my numbers pretty even--one find for one plant,
but the recent gatherings in Salt Lake and Boise and the
subsequent hunting that went along with them blew that average
for me. I will have to get carving since I'm a believer in plant it
and they will come. I'm working hard on it!
happy hunting,
Cadenza

Congrats Cadenza! Any time you want stamps carved to go out to ID for
planting... let me know! It was a pleasure to carve one for the UT gather!

Cadenza,
Congratulations on your milestone! I think Minnesota is where Idaho
was, as you describe it, last March. Thanks for the indirect
encouragement! I've heard the message from several sources
now, "plant them and they will come" and that's just what I'm going
to do.
I thought I'd need to wait until warmer weather to get going but our
area of Minnesota has been rather light on the snow this season and
it looks like I'll be able to get started earlier. I've got three
boxes ready to go with a 4th one almost done. Now I just need to find
the perfect hiding spots. Look for clues coming soon.

Congratulations ! Now ,that I had the fun of meeting you in Utah, I
count you as a wonderful new friend and it is great to know the eleven
boxes from CT folks are there now to be enjoyed by others. I hope you
were able to take some to Id especially the Elk carved by Chuck and
Molly It sort of wanted to go to Id.!!
Clues are ready to be posted of the two boxes my grandchildren helped
me plant on the Jordon River Trail . Sunseeker is helping me via e
mail to make sure I have the clues right. See has found both boxes and
reports they are in good order. Happy boxing
Butterfly in CT.
