New and Upcoming
Had a little fun with
Roseville in Autumn yesterday. Cute little shop, and Sandy was very nice! We picked up a new ink pad better suited to travelling.
It took a good two hours to solve the clues for this
brand-new box (not even posted to the official site yet). And how could I resist the Lemony Snicket theme? There were a few little mistakes, but I still respect clues that make us think and do a little research. Maybe I won't be quite so literal with the clues for our next box!
I re-carved the
Fair Oaks chicken last night over MST3K. A little classier this time thanks to my giant stash of eBayed recycled stamp parts. Darin and I had such agonizing difficulty agreeing on a spot to hide it last time (I don't even remember how many scouting trips we took to the river) that I may just go in the cool morning and hide this copy myself. Then he can be the first guinea pig.
Digging Around
Looking back at the old files, I realized I've got photos that've never been posted.
Folsom Powerhouse (our first foray):
Darin and Rainbow Bridge
First Find Ever!
Jennie, Darin, and Box
Quail on the Trail (now sadly MIA)
Guy West Bridge
Panorama of Bridge
Plaque for Mark "The Wing" Williams (weird)
Water Treatment Plant
Finally
Hey, look over there! New clues for a shamefully old
box.
To Do
A few new-ish boxes in the area we've got our eye on:
North Fork Dry Diggins - Auburn
I-80 #1 - Auburn
Autumn in Roseville - Roseville
Bok Kai - Marysville
Little Jackrabbit - Vacaville
Nymph of the Sea - Vacaville
Cupid's Arrow - Davis
A Rocky Trail - Davis
I've also got two stamps carved to plant - one for Old Sacramento, and one for Fairfield - and another easy box planted up at Apple Hill to write out clues for. Lots to do!
