We took some time off to go and visit Tracdc in Bethlehem. The drive along the Juniata was very pretty with the morning mist burning off to show the colorful autumn leaves. We stopped to take some photos near Mifflintown.
We made a detour through Reading to find a few letterboxes. Angelica Angel, The Hidden Door, and Swan Lake are probably some of the least visited and most under rated treasures. The clues are charming, the stamps are great and "stop & stamp" locations are quaint. We took advantage of the time we saved by hunting down the placer to take her out to lunch as a small "Thank you" for the fun. Brava Team Little Dog!
Our Saturday morning was another beautiful one with a sharp chill in the air. We had high hopes of visiting many letterboxes in the area.
Tracdc led us to success in the chilly morning air but it took it's toll on those of us with breathing challenges. Smiles all around as we were first to stamp into a real gem of a local box.
Later, we soaked up sun as we stamped into one of Lightnin Bug's Scary Vegetables! Notice the smarty pants expressions above as we added sunglasses and our Palm device into the zip lock bag that was labeled as "Everything." This was a perfect local series of letterboxes for us.
Proud planter, Tracdc was all in after hiding 2 of her first letterboxes. We were excited to be along with her as she hid Laubach Blackberries and Pysanky Egg #1. Her artistic talents as a water color painter and photographer are appreciated by many. Now the letterboxing community is going to be very happy she has started to carve beautiful letterbox stamps to share in the Bethlehem area.
We returned home to a houseful of hungry and rambunctious pets. We can never spend enough time visiting but the empty food bowls and overflowing litterboxes upon our return remind us that we have limits. A long walk in the yard then the park helped to settle kitten-boy down... a bit.
