Anyone else have that Stompin’ Tom song running through their heads??? As my last post stated the news is official. By May 6 or 7th, I will be on the road to Alberta.
My plan is to spend some time on the first day in Muskoka. I have a couple more labyrinths to plant and a hubcap or two to drop at rest areas. Then over to Parry Sound to pick up a couple of fiddleheads/kirbert boxes (and several others) before heading northward. My sister-in-law will be joining me in Parry Sound for the drive west. She is a rookie (avid) letterboxer, so it will be fun to spend a couple of days with her. We will be stopping along the way at all of the letterboxes I planted on my trip west (to Saskatchewan) last spring as well as planting 14 new ones between Sudbury and Calgary. I had these all carved and ready to go a while ago, so it was just a matter of finishing up the boxes and logbooks. (I had almost enough already purchased…. I need two more L&L’s and 1 more logbook and I’m set to go). Oh, and I will be leaving behind 6 new mini’s in the library in Owen Sound. (I got permission and even recruited a new letterboxer ~ the head librarian). She and her husband take motorcycle trips around NA and they were soon heading for Gettysburg, PA. I told her I thought there might be lots around that area. She was really enthused!!!
I will try to remember to take photos as we go, so I can post the story when I have a chance!!
Great news! Is there a job waiting for you? Lots of opportunity regardless.
We’re really going to miss you around here. Luckily you are leaving some treasures behind for the rest of us. I still have some NES boxes to get, plus your new ones.
The 4Sailors are in Calgary – they used to live in Guelph but moved a couple of years ago. If you can get in touch with them, you can revitalize the LB community out there.
Best of luck, Water Lily.
