I went out boxing yesterday with two newbies, All Daydream (A.D.)and
Yuri Nahl, and All Daydream's Darling (A.D.D.)

We had a 100% seek and find ratio and were very happy. Plus, among
the four of us we had different goals in mind.

All Daydream WAS all about the journey, hopping along from rock to
rock and swearing at me under her breath, because I told her she'd be
fine in flipflops. - My bad.

Yuri had the fabulous knack of spotting that curious pile of rocks.
He homed right in on the hidey holes. "Hey, that looks odd." -
casually flipping over a rock and finding the box. I think he's all
about the camaraderie without having to go to meetings.

All Daydream's Darling (A.D.D.) was SO excited. While Yuri and A.D.
were off the path around a tree, bending to retrieve, A.D.D.
yells "DID YOU FIND IT?!" then hung his head in embarrassment
remembering this was kind of a secret thing.

So I yelled, "Did you find your keys?!" To help cover up.
A.D.D. really enjoyed looking through the logbooks to see who was
there and who wrote what.

We retrieved one of my boxes. It had been reported that the stamp was
gone but the book was still there. It was a high traffic area, so I
tested the three newbies on clandestine retrieval.

Yuri needs to work on his "I'm-not-up-to-anything" look. But A.D.D.
is a natural in diversionary tactics. Talking to strangers and
blocking their view of the grab.

All in good condition are....
Bassackwards I and II
Fun at the Falls I and II (II was slightly damp)
Forestheart Labyrinth

Along the way we also planted a hastily carved box at a covered
bridge. - Clues to come soon to lb.org.

Thanks for reading the ramble.
