Hi, everybody! We had another great letteboxing weekend with Nitrocat and her kittens. Tweeter and Pinky and I are each going to tell a different part of the story. I get to tell about going to Nelson Lake.
Friday morning, we left with Nitrocat's crew to go up to Batavia and try to find some letterboxes. We even took Kirby with us! Stacy only needed seven to reach her goal of 100 by her letterboxing anniversary. The first place we went was the Dick Young forest preserve. It was a really neat place with a huge lake and large areas of prairie land being restored. It was in full bloom and beautiful! There were two boxes in the park and we headed around the lake to look for the first one. We walked and walked and walked and walked. We ended up going completely around the lake and couldn't find the box. Nitrocat found out later that we had walked over three miles, and the kittens had the blisters to prove it. They did really well though. There was a little complaining by the end, but Nitrocat said that they had earned the right. She realized later that we should have gone the other way around the lake and the walk would have been less than a mile, but she made all of us promise not to tell the kittens.
The second box was also missing, and had been for a while we learned later. Nitrocat was a little disappointed, but she told us that the preserve was so awesome that she was glad we came anyway even if we didn't find any letterboxes.
You will have to read the rest of our adventures on Tweeter and Pinky's blogs.
More later!
