Killing time between a few hours of work in the AM and needing to be
at the barn to send "my" horse back home to his owners ( he didn't
work out :-( ) in the PM I killed some time LB'ing in Seattle.
Happy to report all the Carkeek Park LB's are doing well. The
Fantasy boxes, Unicorn, Pixie Witch and Castle are fine, with the
witch the only one that might get challenged by wet weather.
All the fish are fine and dandy. I found "Mickey Takes a Hike" HH at
the King Salmon box.
Transported him to a small city in the Puget Sound region.
Interestingly enough this HH was found by "Amanda from Seattle" in
Florida and she stamped it again last week in Seattle. I get the
impression that she shared the HH with Ryan from Portland as they
were LB'ing together.
The box I placed it in Amanda has already visited, so Mickey will not
score a triple hit this time.
I scared some Geocachers with their find while looking for Salmon
Run. I read the clues as saying to not climb the referenced stairs
but take the trail to the right. By about the time I realized that
was the wrong choice I heard the Geocachers.
I backtracked and when I found the LB the Geos were just on the other
side of the tree break.
I had time to kill before the afternoon meeting so I visited a lone
box and Left Mickey cozy and dry squished into a box.
Tomorrow I tackle some of the Oly boxes at last.

Actually, the story is that Amanda originally found the box in
Florida and brought it out west. She dropped it off it Portland
where it started gravitating back home working its way down the
Columbia River Gorge and making it back as far as Idaho, where we
intercepted its travels and found it together. Since Amanda had
already had the honor of moving the hitchhiker once (and cross-
country, no less!), I got the honors of deciding where to move it to
this time around.
Mickey seemed to really be enjoying himself here in Seattle, and
especially that fish slide and "suspension bridge" at Carkeek Park,
so thus I dropped him off there.

Have I already hit the box, because I'm still on the prowl hunting
down boxes in the Seattle/Tacoma area. =) And if Amanda's around
to tag along, it still has a chance of being a triple hit!
