Amphigorey with a Walk

Maga11 and I had to take a very large potted tree to Tracdc before the cold weather set in. We we happy to get together and visit at Tracd's home. She told us about her upcoming foot surgery and lamented the fact that she wouldn't be able to walk around freely for over 6 weeks. She happily accepted the idea of seeking Indigo Vulture's Edward Gorey letterbox series as kind-of a final hike before her surgery.

The creek was low but our spirits were high as we came quickly to the first box. It was just a nudge off trail and it suited us to be a bit hidden. Amazingly, Tracdc was true to frm and even in the thick of the woods managed to be a disc magnet yet again. OUCH!

We enjoyed the trails and the area very much but the highlights were the nicely carved stamps in each letterbox of this series. We snaked around the park trails. Tracdc didn't realize that the trails in the park were so many and she was happy to know of another great local park. We all agreed that it is one of the most enjoyable things about letterboxing; when a letterbox opens your eyes to something that was right under your nose but you didn't fully appreciate it.

Toward the end of the walk, Maga11 regretted not bringing her cane. Not because she was fatigued but she probably wanted to bean me for getting goofy with some feathers I found along the way. We had a long drive back to our homes that evening but it was pleasing to be able to look back on this letterbox series that allowed us to visit in a cool area.
