We've finally chosen a spot for our 5th annual Bed & Boxing weekend - Cape Cod!
Even though last year's weekend and location was a huge success, we just couldn't come up with a weekend at Woodbound Inn that fit our schedule and theirs. Hopefully, we'll return there again for B & B 6.
But in the me…
That's right - mamma mia!
Our Viva Italia Letterboxing Tour!!! has reached 13 members. And with the minimum of 20 people, there are only 3 spaces left to make that minimum (maximum for this trip is 38 people.) No - my math is correct because the tour has 4 people not from our group set to travel …
What a great day Sunday was for Sue & I. We went out boxing with Tsuki Ames and Jei for the day in Penwood State Park in Bloomfield. After a late start, I was loading up the car when a red car pulled in the driveway with Rubaduc and Gizz inside!

Sue & I mourn the passing of letterboxer Northstar, who died a few weeks ago at a very young age. Those of you new to boxing might not recognize the name as he wasn't very active in recent years. He leaves his wife Gina and a daughter.
Our best memories of Northstar, a CT boxer, was a certain clue t…
Now that we've whet your appetite for our Viva Italia trip, we now have some more info - although unconfirmed at this point but just about certain:
1) We're looking at a departure date of Wednesday, October 24th to arrive in Rome on the morning of the 25th. This tour includes an extra, free night at…
That's right - we're taking a group to Italy this year - probably October. I'm having a conversation with several tour companies and want to get an idea of how many of you are seriously interested in a 10 to 12 day tour of Italy with Sue & I.
While itineraries are still be discussed, the followin…

We wish you happy times with loved ones and friends; good cheer and good health always and all the peace that this season should bring!

Ever notice how things keep repeating? Like when you learn a new word, you tend to see it many times after you learn it. Or you notice a model of car that you like and have never seen - then you find the same model wherever you turn.
Well, over the past few weeks the number 60,000 has come up seve…
Sue & I had the opportunity to go to VT again this past weekend. While we noted some marked improvements like repaired roads and guardrails, there still is a mammoth need for food and money to help local families. The stores in the downtown area of Wilmington are ever so slowly opening but for some,…

What a weekend!
This was our largest attended Bed & Boxing in the 4 years we've been doing it. Counting day trippers, we ended up with 83 attendees. About 55 people stayed at the Woodbound Inn with us in a combination of accommodations ranging from…
Today, Sue & I took some friends for their first day of letterboxing. We've been talking about it with them for some time but couldn't find an opportunity to get together until today. We made plans to eat at a Middletown restaurant after we boxed so we left 1 car there and started our boxing afterno…
Those of you that follow this blog know that if there's anything we love as much as letterboxing - it's Vermont. As you probably know, the Wilmington area of southern Vermont was one of the hardest hit from Hurricane Irene several weeks ago, according to FEMA during their recent visit there to acces…
As we go about our daily lives today, we must not forget the tragedy and sacrifice that our country faced 10 years ago today. Over 3000 Americans perished because of the hateful attack at the hands of terrorists. But we demonstrated that out of this tragedy came a united country which showed the str…
As we write this, our power has returned and our lives are getting somewhat back to normal. Our entire family is fine but not so for many in Irene's path - especially those in our adopted home of Vermont. If you've watched the network national news (if you have power,) you've witnessed the complete…
That's the only word to describe our 12 day Letterboxing Cruise to Alaska!!! Everything was amazing - the friends who attended, the boxes they brought and we found (about 60 on the ship!) the scenery, the cruise ship and the service and food, the Alaskan people - just amazing.
This is a trip that e…
It's been a long time since I've posted but wanted to stop in to wish all the dads a very special day. We're headed to our youngest son & daughter-in-law's house, Steve & Katie, for a picnic with her parents and our oldest son and daughter-in-law, Matt & Meredith. What could be better?
Coming in a v…
Thanks to Irene (formerly of Hikers & Hounds) now known as Dancing Bat, Sue & I will have a PA mini meet on Monday, April 25th.
We'll be in PA from Easter Sunday through Friday. Our headquarters will be in Bushkill, but we plan to visit the Allentown area on that Monday with our local guide, Lightn…
Well, you can!
Choi, webmaster extrordinaire, announced on our Newboxers List that the LBNA is looking for a new design for their patch. There are no fees or ads involved with this first ever letterboxing clue repository so it runs strictly on donations. The patch is a form of a thank you given to…
Several weeks ago, Sue & I attended MoJo's gathering in Portland, CT. It was a great afternoon - time to reconnect with both old friends and new.
During that gathering, we had an opportunity to share a conversation with Steve of Celtic Roots. Steve wondered if I would ever consider publishing more …
