Perfect Day in Ky

Madisonville
Yesterday my boxing buddy and I went on a boxing adventure in Kentucky.  We found all 17 boxes that we looked for <3

We found a box in Hanson and Madisonville.  Then we got a 7 box series in a small rural cemetery in Dawson Springs.  I think got poison ivy here.  Thankfully it is just a small line on my arm.

Next we got another set of 7 in a Hopkinsville cemetery.  We had lunch at Arby's while we were in the big city ;)

My boxing buddy, G-MA, said there was another box that we needed to get.  I pulled up Hopkinsville on my phone and didn't see anything.  So she pulled it up on her phone.  The box she was talking about was a box that I planted.  She was with me the first time I planted it.  It went missing and the next time we went to Hopkinsville I replaced it.  She was with me both times I planted it but for some reason she never stamped it.  So we stopped and she got it.  Technically I got 17 and she got 18.
Dawson Springs

The last box of the day was in Fearsville, Ky.  The clue was a rhyme and vague.  G-MA and I are both bad at this kind of thing and almost didn't go for it.  But it was still early and we gave it a try.  It was easier to find than we thought it would be.  G-MA was hoping there would be a sign in Fearsville so we could take a pic but the place was so small that there was no sign.

It was really hot but we found all the boxes we went for and a hitchhiker.  When we stopped to find my box we discovered that 2 other boxers from SW Indiana were also in the area on the same day.  Funny coincidence :)

Quiet, Soothing LTCs

Quiet, Soothing Moments:
Happy Camper



I am participating in Gypsy Fiddler (aka musicpals) "Quiet, Soothing Moments" LTC swap.  As you can see I picked a camping image for my card.  I am really happy with how they turned out even though the carve got mixed reviews around the house.  I posted a pic on Facebook and my friends liked it.  I always plant a box Mother's Day weekend when we are camping.  I may use this as my box for next year.
