When I did get the boxes all done I learned that a box hidden by Spoiled Rotten needed a new box. Fiinnneeeeee. So I got another box to prepare for it's new inhabitants. I then found out that the box I already made couldn't house my logbook I had ready to go. So that box became the replacement box and the box needing taped up was for my box. This box I call Frankinbox. I began taping it up with the natural camo but I ran out! So it it now partially camo, and partially brown. It was really weird looking.
We stopped at The French Loaf and had some awesome potato soup and some sweets. We were then off to Greenlawn cemetery. We had 2 hours to plant, replace, and find some boxes. We did a quick check up on our Sailor and His Lover letterboxes. We weren't able to check up on our last box since there were some ladies in that area. Since it's Veterans day there was a descent amount of people there. We learned a trick from Jeeves to carry fake flowers with us when going to cemeteries. The only flowers I had were some that we used at my church to make flower pens. So we took those with us. I also brought my camera too.
After our box check up we were off to a box to find. we figured we would find some boxes and look for some places to plant along the way. When we got to the location of the plant we sat down and began to stamp away. Next thing we knew, some noxers pulled up RIGHT NEXT to us. I thought, "Oh no, that's the family of that is coming to visit their passed loved one that we are sitting right next to!" I started freaking out and and got the nervous butterflies. I got out my camera and started messing around with it to make it look like we were just stopping so I could check my equipment. They got out of the car. "Oh no." They walk towards us. "Oh no! Oh no!"
"Hey! Can we do a stamp exchange!" The women says to us.
"Oh thank God! You're letterboxers!" I say.
We met Typengrype, Short Pants, and Sur lydrajon. We started our stamp exchange to find I left my stamp at home!! So I had to draw in an awkward sketch of my stamp. We had a nice chat and exchange and I explained how freaked out I was when they stopped. Aparently Sur lydrajon though we were just check my camera equipment but Typengrype knew it was a cover up. We went our separate ways and started on our quest for planting our new series Internet Medley. All was going well until we went to plant the last box. Where we wanted to plant was by a HUGE tree that a ton of birds decided to chill out on. When Tyrus went over to plant the box they a began to poop. Yes, all at once ans it was so funny watching him take off running away from the birds!
We had about 45 minuets left to try to go to the locations of the box that was in need of repair. Than was such a long walk. here's the path we took:
Light Green: Car
Blue: On foot
We replaced the box that was all leaky and wet and were on our way. We then passed a lot that had a letterbox. We had about 20 mins so we looked for the boxes. We found one of them but we were pressed on time ans we were running around like chickens with our heads cut off for the last box. With 5 mins left till closing we had to abandon it and come back for it at a different time. The one box we did manage to find we had to to a very quick repair on it because it had some awful holes in it.We made it out of the cemetery at exactly 5:00 p.m. EST. I was freaking out that we were going to be locked in. Others have while letterboxing and it was freaking me out. Yes, I freak out a lot.
I didn't realize how tiered I was till I was finally able to sit back and relax. That was a really long walk. I don't doubt that we will again take a long walk though Greenlawn but probably not till spring. Starting to get cold and today was such a blessing. I almost had to take my jacket off because I was starting to get a bit over heated!
Untill next time.
