we started off the day meeting Astro D and Lionsmane, both of Santa Fe. we had a great time visiting and getting lots of good advice, stories, carving tips and recommendations, suggestions, etc. we exchanged stamps and were excited that we got to add a stamp from a recent Santa Fe mini meet too! they also helped sort out the dizzying array of boxes that we hoped to search for in Santa Fe, helping group them geographically. Then we got busy, spending the entire day and night walking all over Santa Fe on the hunt for the following LBs:
Is She Mary?
A Pressing Matter
Honor, Loyalty and Peace
Are Your Dogs Barking?
Artful Southwest (box 3: Santa Fe Style)
Calavera (attempt two!)
Going in Circles
Bear in Mind
details in the next post!

"Red or Green?"
This was a really wonderful handcarved stamp and great clues...the kind that make sense when you get to where you're supposed to be, but not before! We're looking forward to meeting the Santa Fe planter of this box, Astro D, tomorrow morning for coffee.

Calavera and Artful Southwest
The Artful Southwest series seems like a really cool one, right in the heart of the historic plaza area of Santa Fe. Unfortunately, we couldn't find any of them (we haven't checked for the third one yet, but hopefully will tomorrow. The other two, we were quiet certain of the location and even expanded our search out from there, but to no avail. We were really looking forward to being super stealthy in such a busy urban area.

Mississippi Sweethearts Series
This was a wonderful series and tribute in a great city park. The series has three boxes, though we weren't able to located the second box and fear that it's gone missing. the backstory to this series is charming.

The Roswell Crash Letterbox - Random Weirdness Series #1
this is a great LB and clever stamp honoring the great mystery/controversy for which Roswell is best known. it's located in a nice park not far from downtown.

7/25/07 Galveston, TX - Moody Gardens
Dynamite Dad's and the Moody Penguin
These two LBs were cleverly hidden in a place where thousands of people visit each day. We enjoyed Moody Gardens and then finished up our visit by finding these two LBs. a Seagull was actually perched on top of one of them, though fortunately decided to leave as came into the area!

Hiding from Puddy Tat
This letterbox is found on a nice little (paved) trail through dense near coastal vegetation. really pretty, tons of trees....oh and poisonous snakes! ann spotted a cottonmouth coiled up right next to the path we had to cross. this ended up being one of the scariest LBs we've hunted! it took me a good ten minutes to get up the nerve to get to the spot where the box was hidden... in a really great tree, not far from the trail, but i had to make sure there were no more surprises waiting for me!
