Texas Gulf Coast Boxes

Just returned from a trip to Port Aransas and want to thank the Boxhounds08 for all the boxes they've planted in the area. We found "Aransas Pass Shrimporee", "First Class Petty Officers", "Gem City of the Gulf Coast", and "Mr. Dewey's Curlew." Like many good letterboxes, these took us to great places we never would have otherwise encountered. In particular, we really liked Mr. Dewey's Curlew a lot. What a nice way to honor a friend and what a beautiful spot. We also looked for "Golden Fronted Woodpecker", located at a Nature Sanctuary, but the area where the box was supposed to be had been burned recently and we found no sight of the box.

Speaking of Gulf Coast boxes, we had two planted at Galveston ("The Great Storm" and "Just Off the Strand"), that we'd had mixed reports on, and dewberry was kind enough to check on them for us this past week and confirm that indeed they are both missing, likely casualties of Hurricane Ike, who followed the unnamed and terrifyingly damaging hurricane of 1900, 108 years later.
