What's a soccer mom to do when she drives 100 miles to see her #1
Striker play and the games are called for rain....go boxing, of
course!

Less than 5 miles from the hotel where I said goodbye to my daughter
who would be spending a long, boring afternoon and evening "cooped
up" with a U-17 boys team from Long Island, NY (YIKES!) is Fort
Belvoir and the Accotink Bay Wildlife Refuge. This area is the site
of numerous short, but lovely trails and three letterboxes. I was
able to add two of the stamps to my journal despite the rain and
flooded trail. The Beaver Pond Trail was flooded and roped off
between "Beaver" 180 and P "9" L. Figured there was more than one
way to bag this box so I retraced and reversed the loop until I could
pick up the rallymaster's clues. This format was a lot of fun!

I'll be heading back up tomorrow hopefully to watch some soccer, but
if not, there's always Leesylvania State Park and five boxes to hunt.
