Finally

well Memorial Day has come and gone. it's officially summer in Alaska. we're hopeing to get out LBing soon.
we went to Whittier for Memorial day and got some great pics!

its comming

its getting cold. I have to wear my big poofy jacket and gloves in the morning. it may snow anyday now! there was been frost on the ground a few mornings. today it was sunny but still very cold. I took this pic of the mountains while trying to drive.

no more letterboxing for me, at least not outdoors. I'm doing postals now. cool way to keep warm but still box. I do plan to do some LBing when we go to visit the in laws in Oregon.

lost purse, missing body??

A few days ago hubs and I went geocaching. (we finally got out new GPS and I have no clue how the damn thing works.) we found a womans purse stuffed under a bush!!! it was brown/ tan and it may totally be an imitation but it had this C pattern on it, like a coach purse. hubs reached for it thinking that was were the geocach was hidden. he tells me there is stuff in it. a wallet, an Ipod loose stuff in the purse. he puts it back and walks away. I tell him he has his finger prints all over it and crap if something bad went down here he's gonna be in trouble. (yes Ive seen too many Law and Order shows) so I put on my big ass mittens on and go over to look. Meanwhile I had him call the police. call APD!!!! boy I hope I never really need to get ahold of a cop cuz we never did get through. I found an ID. a blonde woman in her 20's, blue eyes. named (I believe but Im so bad with names. ) Rosalind Marie Thompson. a rent-a-cop (I mean a walmart security) drives by and hubs calls him over. we explain that we found the purse while geocaching. as he asks if we found an ID I hand it over to him. he said he would take it over to walmart. and that was it. I hope we did the right thing and they figure something out. It just seemed too suspicious to me. the purse was ransacked (although there is women that keep their purses like that all the time.) but there is no way someone dropped it. it was well hidden, we only found it cuz we were digging around. there was loose credit cards, paper maybe receipts, a lighter, a new tampon in a ziplock baggie. and that Ipod, an older Nano 8GB black. the wallet was still there although we didnt open it to see if there was still any cash. it was all too weird for me. now I have that same feeling I had when that woman did a hit and run infront of mom and me. man what is going on here!!!!! If I dissapear, come looking for me its gotta have something to do with that bag. LOL hubs thinks someone stole it and stashed it to go get it later. oh there was also some kind of pretty perfume bottle laying by the bag but I didnt reach into the bushed for it. I was too freaked out at this point. I google searched for this ladys name and found nothing but I may be misspelling the name. interesting enough day huh?

quick blog

just a quick blog that yes there is a a stuffed Rhino sitting on my rock by a LB I planted. I added a little note on the LB clues that the Rhino should stay there since we do not know who it belongs to. the LB is still there. the stuffie is big and it looks like its been loved, one of the eyes is missing.

meeting Lbers is fun!

Oh what fun! I got to meet some letterboxers today!! I met Nana C and the seedlings AKA The Seeker. Got lots of new exchanges in my logbook and learned some new things. It was just fun to meet others who like this hobby as much as I do. The buddies also got new exchanges in their log books. they were busy when we took the pic. Everyone thought Mugsy was really cute!! Austin thought Tweeter was cool. Yep, a grand old time for everyone.

Shout Out to Nana C and the Seedlings!!

I also got a little tutorial on Geocaching. my husband and I have decide to try our hand at geocaching. Hubs ordered our first GPS online today. We got a Garmin Etrax Vista HCX.

pretty good deal on it too. my geocaching trail name is Brown Eyes in Alaska (guess there is already a Brown Eyes out in the geocaching world.) my husband is dlb. I cant wait to recieve it and go find out first cach!!

Got a new postal in the mail today. the Mystery PLB by Happy Gemini. I cant figure it out so I may have to pass on the price. oh well. neat stamps.

I got this pic from deniserows. Shout Out to deniserows in Kodiak Ak!!

its my rock (I named it Little Brother) from the XYIENCE XENERGY LB I planted. I'm going out tomorrow to check it out and find out whats with the Rhino on the box. I didnt leave it there and according to people that have logged their finds of my box its been there for over a month. go fig.

What a wonderful day!! I also got to spend some time with my hubs , he was off of work today.

Box On!! (a cajear)

Brown Eyes

DNF infact WAY OFF

so I went LBing with my family. My 2 yr old K, my mom (who has gone LBing with me before and seems to like it.) my dad, my older sister and her 2 kids ages 1 and 4. WOW was that a bad idea. to begin with I wasnt quite sure where I was going. we walked a little while but decide to stop since we really hadnt started to cles right. we were suppose to take a dirt road and we never saw one so I think we were in the wrong place. oh well. we did find a great trail that gave me an aweome idea for a LB that I will probably plant next summer. (maybe I'll make a series.) we all got out for a walk and laughed and took some pics. good times.

ooh the horror the horror!!! I saw this while on our way out. yes it is what it looks like the snow is comming. NO!!!!!!!

another great find

I went Letterboxing with my nephew The Champion and my daughter K on Saturday, the buddys (Tweeter and Mugsy McGee came with us). We found the box without any trouble and I'm so glad there is finally a LB in the Weschester Lagoon area. I wanted to plant one there and still might later. it was sunny but windy, not bad if walking and wearing a sweater but to stamp in I had to take my gloves off and and stamping into to 4 logs books takes a while. (my book, champions, and the 2 buddys) My hands were cold!!!

before we left the buddys posted for a pic. K was in the pic too but decide to run away at the last minute. The champion ran after her before she dove into the freezing water. she saw it and screamed AGUA!!!!!

*this is a picture of a fence at the place we found the LB today. I took a pic because I thought it kinda looked weird. What are those kids doing?? and why is there a pole coming out of the boys head!! LOL

new letterboxes in anchorage and more carving

well first of all I'm so excited that there are 2 new letterboxes listed on the AQ site. both say that they have not been found yet but I'm guessing they have been just havent been logged. there is 3 LB in Anchorage I need to find but they're a good little drive out. these 2 new one are close in town. one I"m almost positive we will find tomorrow. the other I need to do a bit more research before heading out. It'll probably be rainy tomorrow but we're going anyway. Time too bundle up!!! Both my new buddy's have been claimed and will go out as soon as I get their stamps and log books done. I bought some pink stuff today and carved my "My favorite holiday: Feliz Navidad" PLBR stamp. not quite happy with it yet. the carving is ok but I am having a hard time inking it with crayolas. I think I may have to buy some good markers. I'll mess with it some more tomorrow. I have the log book done, cuz I bought it, at Joann's. I have a few ideas for some rings I want to start and a few stamps I want to carve. oh so much to do!!!!

new buddies

YAY!!! I have new buddies!!!

they arent quite ready to travel yet but will be soon. working on their stamps and log books. (I also have 2 postals I have to carve.) tomorrow I will go out and buy some pink stuff. at my sisters house I'll print some pics to transfer and carve.
