The Return of Mososo Kruppe!

No, it's not a new and improved laundry detergent nor powerful foreign car. Remember!? Up from Georgia, it's the sweetest letterboxing couple we know, Mososo Kruppe. RGBisMe and I have spent some wonderful times this week with these exceptional folks. How many people do you know who bring rats with them when they come and visit your house!? We had the honor of exchanging with Loki and Thor, shirt rats extraordinaire! They charmed us by snuggling and running around as we chatted with Mososo Kruppe. These rats don't have fleas nor lice but somehow we were left with cooties after their visit!

Great conversationalists, Mososo Kruppe shared with us their many letterboxing escapades. Witty tales interspersed with peeks at their great stamp carvings and found stamp images. We share a lot of the same values, opinions, tastes and slightly twisted sense of humor. We have serious plans in the works to kidnap and force them to live in our area.

We had a perfect afternoon of hiking Nittany Mountain yesterday. Just a slight afternoon chill for July allowed me to keep the sweat to a minimum yet keep up with these strong hikers. They once told me Nittany gave them trouble! They took the climb at a steady pace and I was ready to stop and stamp for a bit. I was glad to have brought my latest PT with me in my pack.

We did the white loop and they easily snagged 6 boxes. Using their crafty wiles, they also determined I can't shut my mouth about my own boxes. I think they will soon be returning to the mountain.

Although RGBisMe was not able to hike with us yesterday, he did join us later for a meal at Otto's. We chatted the evening away, learning more about each other's letterboxing styles and personal tastes. I can speak for both RGBisMe and myself by saying we are glad to know Mososo Kruppe better and are happy to call them friends. We hope the letterboxing community from Georgia realizes how lucky they are... until we lure them away! How can we tempt you?

  1. We can always throw them in the back of a van and carry them off!

    Great shot at the end of the entry BTW.

  2. Becky only stopped giggling like a schoolgirl when she saw that picture of Mike Rowe long enough to say, "How can a man like that fit into one blog entry?!"

    How funny! We've had a great time too! And we can't wait for Denny's!

  3. The only other thing I have to wonder about; there were rats aboard the ship and Birbanto did nothing!

  4. Or were Birbanto and Mooch at all put off by the presence of those little characters?

    My understanding is that those little fellers are required at the Hogwarts Letterboxing School! ;-)

    Looking forward to meeting them,
