A Walrus and A Rose

Two new boxes were planted in Santa Fe in the last few days and I just had to go out today and find them. Both had neat clues and both were in the downtown area so I headed into town and went on a quest.

I first drove and found a place to park near the plaza to find another one of the Twinville Trekkers' Beatles Series. I parked and made my to the location where I needed to start to look for the box. I found the hallway with the crows, eyes and clouds. It was actually a pretty neat mural. I got the information I needed and figured out all the steps and turns and made my way to the hiding spot. Then I had to wait and walk around until the area was void of muggles before retrieving the box. When I had in my hot little hands I went back to where the mural was and sat and stamped in. Putting the box back in place was much easier. Thanks Twinville Trekkers for another nice box.

I made my way back to my car and then drove to Amelia White Park to find a box by Hi Desert. She is fairly new to the letterboxing scene in Santa Fe. The box I found today was her second planted box and it is the first one of hers I have found. The other one is a little ways away and I haven't had time to get out there and get it. But today I solved the little puzzle she has for the clues and found Amelia's Rose. I am glad that the weather was nice today and I didn't have to be out in the cold trying to solve the clue. I enjoyed finding this box, thanks Hi Desert. I am looking forward to more of your boxes.

I had a pleasant afternoon walking around downtown and visiting Amelia White Park. It is nice to have boxes to find close to home. And next week I will be in Texas for T.A.L.E. 8 and I am so looking forward to it.

We're so glad you enjoyed finding our box. We like placing local boxes for you and Astro D to find as a sort of thank you for all of your wonderful boxes that we found when we first started letterboxing. Finding your boxes helped get us hooked on this hobby.

We had hoped you were one of the first two finders of our Walrus box, as one of the 'gifts' inside the box was 'lion-themed'.

We're finding it uncanny how locations to place boxes just reveal themselves to us based on our Beatles songs series.

Have fun in Texas. We had signed up for that event, but then remembered that Saturday is my daughter's 8th birthday.
