Today we went on our very first letterbox adventure! On Wednesday of
this week I first read about letterboxing on the internet. Had to
convince my dh it would be lots of fun. Picked what looked like an
easy adventure at a place dh particularly liked, and off we went. On
the way we made a quick stop at a rubberstamp shop and found two
stamps we could both agree on. (I had already picked our a.k.a. name
and we found stamps for that theme).
Arrived at the start of our adventure about 2 hours from home to find
out it was almost 90degrees. Not the best weather for a hike in the
woods with lots of bugs. Luckily the hike was short and the spot
chosen was perfect.
Even thought the box was only planted a few weeks ago we weren't the
first to locate it. Everything was in great shape. Loved the hand
carved stamp!
Thank you Kittlekatz,

Susan and I had an almost identical day! And we don't even know each
other!
I too had to convince dh that this would be a fun thing to do. And I
picked an easy hike in a place that dh likes.
We had no trouble finding Nojoqui Falls and the Turtle. The weather was
perfect and the park uncrowded. We decided that boxers need a secret
handshake!. Someone had visited the box just a few days ago, and we
couldn't help but wonder if there was anyone else searching while we
were. The people we ran into on the trail didn't look like boxers, but
it would have been nice to flash a secret signal to see if anyone
recognized it!
All in all, today was great start to a fun new pastime. On the way
home, dh was heard to say "Well, that wasn't a bad way to spend a
Saturday afternoon"..................

It can stand for dear husband, darling husband, or damn husband,
depending on the day.
