The Beginning of My Tail...

Yesterday (8/5/12), Tyrus and I went out and planted a ton of boxes. Well, 8 boxes. It was a lot of work.

Why is this titled "The Beginning of My Tail?" I decided to start wearing my tail whenever I go letterboxing. Weird, right? Well, that's me. A couple years back I got a coyote tail from the Ohio Renaissance for costumes and such. Yesterday I just decided to wear it while out boxing. So if you ever see a girl running around with a coyote tail, sunglasses, and a black Celtic cat bag that's me!

Our second series we have ever planted (Two Souls) had be be removed from it's first location. We relocated them to Alton Cemetery down the road from its original hiding area. It didn't take long to replant them and we were soon off to plant the rest.
We visited some other locations to plant our new boxes. We decided to plant in Oak Grove Cemetery. We looked around and saw many possibilities for hiding spots. After we planted the first box we started looking around and it seemed like there was nowhere to plant! Tree was too thick, tree was too thin, bush would die out and would expose the box during winter. It was quiet upsetting and frustrating. We did eventually find enough hiding spots for all 5 boxes. At one of the hiding spots we ran into a little toad who had made his home under some pine needles.

The new series we just planted is called "Pester Chums." These boxes are based off an online comic called Homestuck. There are 4 boxes based of the 4 main characters; John, Rose, Dave, and Jade. There's also a bonus box too, but you have to find the boxes to find the bonus box that is also based off of Homestuck.  Now Homestuck is not an average comic. It is an interactive comic with moving animation and music. The comic isn't for every one and is kind of hard to get into. It's not a comic I recommend to many people. It is also not a comic for kids. But for those out there who are a fan of Homestuck I created a set of boxes you will love. You don't need to read the comic to understand the boxes. The symbols are simply the images that the characters wear on their shirts.
This series was hard and easy when it came to carving them. One is carved from pink stuff, one from blue stuff, and the rest from gray stuff. Dave's stamp was the hardest to carve. If any of my stamps went missing, I hope it's not his stamp. The rest were much easier than Dave's but still not the easiest thing either.

I hope every one out there that go searching for my boxes enjoy them! Also, the bonus box can be logged on atlasquest if found!
