Trexx out in the snow!

Trexx, although a cold-blooded fellow, ventured out for a few local letterboxes. He is now curled up in his shell near the fireplace and refusing to move! Pictured with Laney Bug and Boxing Buddy: Bumbles in Kirtland, Ohio at The Souper Duper Letterbox and in Mentor, Ohio at the Mentor Headlands Beach Letterbox. It was 25° and very cold!

Trexx is very excited about good weather so he can get out and do more boxing (aren't we all). He did have a small mishap after being left alone with Laney Bug (3 1/2) in the back seat. He was depanted and missing his boots!

Trexx and Bumbles Go Fall Letterboxing

Trexx is having a great time enjoying the fall weather with his visiting Boxing Buddy: Bumbles. She doesn't have quite as attractive folliage and meeting a real Ohio Box Turtle in the wild (it was a girl and she had pretty eyes, Trexx noticed) was pretty neat too!

Trexx loved her intricately designed shell (his is sort of plain) and Bumbles enjoyed sneaking rides.




Bumbles enjoyed listening to Trexx, a LetterBox Turtle, explain what letterboxing was to a Box Turtle. They think that they might have convinced their new friend to try it out. The Box Turtle liked the idea of traveling more and couldn't believe Bumbles came all the way from England to visit and go letterboxing!

The Boxing Buddies were visiting Travel'n Turtle's Hitch Hiker Hostel and stopped long enough to enjoy the scenic spot, too. Bumbles got tired with all the flying and had Trexx carry her on the trip back to the car!

Trexx takes visiting buddy, Bumbles around Ohio

Trexx has a new Boxing Buddy friend, Bumbles, visiting from London, England. She has never been outside her country and wanted to see Ohio and do some letterboxing with Trexx.

First they set off to plant a few letterboxes. These boxes are special because one of them is from Bumbles owner, Candyland, in London, England and the other is from Ukusa, in Downham, England. As well as one from Trexx's owner, Travel'n Turtle. They're a mystery series so I can't tell you more here except this amazing bridge is on the trail! Long, but worth the adventure.

Next Trexx and Bumbles visited Marblehead, Ohio. This was a long drive from home, but we still managed to get there first thing in the morning and enjoy the sunrise. This sunrise picture is taken out of the sunroof as we drive onto the island. Lots of boxes to get, so we were very busy. It was a rainy day and we had to plan which boxes to get during dry spells. Still, a beautiful place and a great bunch of letterboxes.

The two letterboxing pictures here are taken at East Harbor State Park in Marblehead. It was a very diverse park with lots of neat trails. Thanks to letterboxers, we saw most of them!

Squire's Castle

Fall is finally here and the leaves are about to turn colors. It's a great time of year to get out and find some letterboxes before the cold sets in (sooner than we expect)! Here is Laney Bug with Trexx at Squire's Castle in North Chagrin Reservation in Willoughby Hills, Ohio.

The lower picture is Buttermilk Falls; neat shale layering the river bed. Beautiful with the reflection of changing leaves!

Trexx boxes Vermilion and Lorain, Ohio

Trexx (seen here with Laney Bug, 3 years old) decided to do a road trip along the "North Coast" to grab some far flung letterboxes. It was a beautiful day and Vermilion was a darling little town. You can see Lake Erie behind the boxing duo.

Next, we headed to Lorain. There is a wonderful hybrid letterbox there. I had never been to this town and was amazed at how darling it too was. I felt like I was driving up a movie set when I drove into town. And they had the cutest little light house!

Trexx hits the Cuyahoga

Camp Hi in Hiram, Ohio offers a beautiful glimpse of the Cuyahoga, up close and personal.

Trexx loved canoeing back on the Fourth of July that he had to try for another Kelmark Boxer extreme box, this time in Hiram, Ohio.

Trexx enjoyed seeing the typical sites by canoe, such as his relatives, the turtle (embarrassingly caught sun-bathing nude).

And the ever popular water sight, the aqua kitty!

Trexx and Goldie in Florida

Trexx, Goldie and fellow buddies: Glitter Fly and Bumbles visit Daytona Beach and search for a few boxes.




Trexx meets a Gopher Tortoise while letterboxing. They talked about family matters then went their own ways. The tortoise didn't understand the allure of boxing!
