On the Road Again

OK, Erin will be heading out tomorrow (Black Friday)! She went with us and two other visiting BBs to enjoy the fall color and log some caches at BeamonPark, west of Nashville!

3 Boxing Buddies at Beamon Park

It was a lovely mild fall day last Sunday, so Erin, Little Blue Bunny and Diva Bear went with us to hike the lovely trails in Beamon Park and log and stamp the MT-Red and MT-White series of boxes. Great camraderie and fall colors!

Tennessee



Erin was waiting here when we returned from vacation (July 12th); she went along with us and Dan to get the two new LBs in Brentwood. We went to get the new pair of boxes placed in a lovely little park (reclaimed water treatment plant!) right here in Brentwood.

Update sent on July 3rd

In Erin's visit to Louisville, we maintenanced Teepsman's 8 "Friends" series and discovered half of them gone. Oddly enough, Janice is missing with Joey, Ross and Chandler, while Gunther is still around hanging out near Rachel, Phoebe and Monica.

We also checked on Kellybean's "The Cardinal" that she donated for the Winter BBQ 2006 gathering; Penguin Patrol's "Flowers: Violets," "Sur Les Pointes," "Steggie and Me" and 3 of the 4 Zoo boxes.

Erin took the wheel, squeaking out the desire to head toward Cincinnati, OH, collecting a variety of letterboxes hidden at rest stops, gorgeous parks, and some nifty urban placings. Some of these boxes have been in place since 2001!

There was only one problem with Erin - counting paces! After our third or fifth discussion of Erin steps vs. MoWizLiz steps, we adopted a standard conversion factor. That seemed to work better!

Erin checks in

After a long day of boxing, Erin really wanted a good plate of Bangers and Mash or Scotch eggs, but alas, no Irish food was anywhere to be found, so we settled at Olive Garden. Erin ordered a plate big enough to swim in, but reconsidered the request when the food arrived.


Sitting high atop one of the many overlooks in Eden Park in Cincinnati, OH, looking for one of Franzsolo's newer boxes, planted in 2003. Calling for clue help. Erin checking one more time that a pace equals two steps before heading downhill in Cincinatti.

A report from the road

MoWizLiz reports:
Erin is having a great time in Louisville, KY, helping with box maintenance. Yesterday, we checked on the Friends series and pulled the Zoo Boxes, The Cardinal, and Violets out of the park, bringing them home to clean stamps, update or add logbooks, change boxes and such. With 94+ degree heat and way too much humidity, maintenance onsite was a no. Not saying which one of us fell to heat issues, but sugar and liquids were applied pronto.
