Letterboxing

Wen and I took the four dogs out yesterday morning, Wil, Earl, Cos and Ang, to Clark Reservation, continuing our pursuit of all the boxes hidden there. Beautiful day - got a little humid when the sun came out. We only saw one other couple hiking and Angus gave them a good warning growl while the other three swarmed them for attention. :-)

We got:
In Flight - carved by Eyze on the Prize, planted by catbead
In Honor of St. George - NOT the WNY Gathering - carved and planted by catbead (WOM clue)
Little Jewel - carved and planted by catbead
Wen searched and found 4 boxes I already had:
Jukebox Life's Lessons #8 - The Devil Went Down to Georgia - carved by Sprite and Highlander, planted by catbead
It's a Good Day for a Dog, Walk - carved and planted by catbead
That Darn Cat (Box #2 and 3) carved and planted by Spudhund

We hit a driveby - On-on-da-ga at the Jamesville Reservoir and then headed to North Syracuse to the Wizard of Oz Memoiral Oak Grove box. I have looked for this box about 5 times. With Budge, with Spark, with both Budge and Spark. We have not been able to find it. We thought it might have been missing but everyone else after us kept finding it :-/ Wen found it months ago so we headed back there to see if I could find with a little assistance from her. I took her right to where we thought it should be - she said we were where she found it. She pointed to a log. I said, "We have looked and dug under that log and there was nothing there". I walked over to it, bent over and there was the box! WTH??? All I can say is the box wasn't there any of the times Budge, Spark and I looked :-) I am glad to be able to cross that one off and be done with it - it was starting to acquire white whale status in my mind.

Then it was home to deal with son#2 and prom night :-) Oh! Driveby on the house reveals roof trusses and roof up. It is starting to look like a house :-)
