Thanksgiving weekend boxing destination???

From: Wisconsin Hiker (kotlarek@wi.rr.com) | Date: 2010-11-14 02:35:16 UTC
Any suggestions for a good place to do some letterboxing over a long Thanksgiving weekend? Reasonable weather and some hiking would be a definite plus...

Well... Minneapolis does have its fair share of boxes! Not too far away but
I can't say the weather will prove to be pleasant!

Beautiful parks though... right in the city! We will be in Milwaukee|west
bend that weekend hopefully we will find the time to pick up a few then!

Happy early Turkey Day everyone!

Most of Texas has beautiful weather this time of year and some letterboxes can be found on several good hiking trails in places such as: Buescher SP (Smithville), Bastrop SP (Bastrop), and Lost Maples SP. A few can be found on the Lone Star Trail, including Lone Star Surprise, which is a box by Wanda & Pete that is being moved along the trail - http://alum.wpi.edu/~p_miner/Texas.html#Box_170

I just love that Wanda and Pete have been all over and their name turns up so often in different places. They are a great couple who have contributed so much to this pastime we all love so well.

Agree! We have enjoyed finding a few boxes together with Pete & Wanda over
the years, both on the east coast & the west coast.



We were in Texas over Thanksgiving in 2005 and planted 2 boxes in Lost
Maples. We also found several boxes in Bastrop during our visit AND saw
real live turkeys on a trail in San Antonio on Thanksgiving Day! However
I'm sure there are many newer boxes since our last trip to the Lone Star
State.

Maybe...but the temp has risen so all the snow has become quite watery at
this point! Besides you guys are always up for a challenge!

Speaking of traveling...this January we have decided to go visit Seatle
WA....we are pretty much devoting our whole trip to boxing...with a drive
through N Dakota and Montana we are exploring NEW territory!

Boxing suggestions?

Anything by Half Empty (formerly known as ~KittyMail) should be fun. I know
he has planted some in Montana, South Dakota & Wyoming. We plan to visit
that area next fall. We're planning our trip primarily around his boxes.
He briefly lived in the Milwaukee area and is a quirky guy!

You could follow the Lewis & Clark Trail and look for my boxes placed on it in North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon & Washington.
