It Came in a Dream...
I've had letterboxing dream many times before but this was totally different. I had an idea for a box come to me in a dream! Well, in my dream Tyrus and I went to the Columbus Zoo. For some reason you had to climb up theses stairs as if you were going to go to the top of the water slides, but it led up to the touch pool. On the way up we had to find this beam that had this magnetic cage stuck to it that was really a letterbox. The stamp inside it was a key. As we were stamping in, this over weight, shirtless white guy in swimming trunk came up the stairs and saw what we were doing. He smiled and continued up to the touch pool.
On the way down from the touch pool Tyrus and I were talking about planting a new box. I wanted to plant a box about the Prohibition in the 1920's. The box was to be named "Speak Easy" and had some interesting stuff about it. You took the lid off and you would see what looks like a door. You then slide a piece to the left in the center of this "door" to see some eyes glaring at you with a speech bubble saying "password." You would then lift up the "door" to find the logbook and stamp inside. If you took it all out of the box it looks like a bar scene back in the "20's at a speak easy place.
Very interesting box. Who knows, maybe I'll try it out!
And who would have known that wanting to go to the zoo, planning out new letterboxes, and finishing The Great Gatsby would lead to a cool box!
