What a day!!

We took Flat Buddy out boxing today...we knew there was a chance of thunderstorms, but they were 'scattered' so we didn't worry about it :)

We found a few boxes, one place had 2 boxes and this was our third time trying to find them...they are 'mystery' boxes of sorts, the clue told us what town they were in, but we had to figure out where in that town, no wonder they had a hard time with them, but we found them today :)

We then went to finish a series we started a few months ago, Flat Buddy wasn't able to log that one because he didn't start at the beginning of the adventure...but we told him that we would be going back to that location though to meet the creators of the adventure and possibly the other boxers that followed the adventure.

We headed out for the last box of the day. When we pulled up to the location, it started pouring and in order to get to the box you had to go down a hill a little bit. Well, when the rain died down just a little 'dad' got out and retrieved the box for us all to stamp in....YAY!!!

Even though everything was all wet and there was a chance of it continuing to rain on and off, we headed to a little park of sorts to have a picnic, that was the original plan for the day, so we decided we'd stick with it. We got to the place soon after since it was only down the road.

The hamburgers were cooking, everything was looking good then just as the last 2 hamburgers were about ready to come off the grill it started raining, not much but as soon as we got them off the grill, boy did it rain. Cats and dogs would be an understatement, it was raining elephants as Butterfly Melody said. So we ended up eating in the van while it was raining elephants and thunder was rolling & lightening was lighting up the sky!

It stopped raining shortly before we finished eating, so we cleaned up the grill, packed everything up and headed back to meet up with other letterboxers.

We met up with CathCainGwen, Rebel Boxer and turtleandhorse, what a great bunch of boxers they were, they all loved Flat Buddy, but we didn't get a picture :( but that's ok, we had ice cream while we were there!!!!!

On our way home, we stopped to get another box in a cemetery, but found out from CathCainGwen afterwards that she removed it :(

Then we tried to stop AGAIN (we tried on our way out too) to stop at Beardslee Castle to get that stamp, but there were still quite a few people milling around from the craft show that was going on earlier...we told him that this place is haunted, hope we're able to go back to get the stamp before he has to head home.
