Trexx goes boxing with The Early Birds, DDDCMJ Express, and Travel'n Turtle

What started as a warm 50° rainy November day turned ugly. One of the Early birds (in pink), the "M" of DDDCMJ Express (holding Trexx), and Travel'n Turtle headed to the Fremont area for a day of carefree boxing! (If you want to see this milk can sign come box in Boneyard Recorder's backyard).

Trexx was smart enough to stay in the car for most of the soggy day, wet turtles can really get stinky. We headed out early and found over 30 boxes. We started out with some rainy hiking and realized that we'd prefer drive-bys when the temperature dropped to 30° and the snow started. We were soaked through and no longer wanted to brave the elements.

It was so much fun; we thank Boneyard Recorder for all her plants in the area. We boxed all day and still need to return again to get the rest. It was neat to see all the different boxer's stamps in this area, thanks to all planters worldwide!

Trexx visits Canada






Trexx had always wanted to visit Niagara Falls. After some convincing he decided to take the Maid of the Mist boat trip into the Horseshoe Falls rather than try the barrell (like a shell) over the falls. After a soggy day in Niagara Falls Trexx's headed to Toronto to do some letterboxing and siteseeing.
He was joined with fellow boxers, Travel'n Turtle, Laney Bug (from Ohio) and Ukusa and Sloppy Chops (from England). As well as some English Noxers, Redmond (Sloppy's son), and Tracy.




That's Tracy and Red with Trexx at High Park right near the Grenadier Pond letterbox. Lovely park with lots of beautiful stamps thanks to Fiddleheads, a local boxer.

On the way home to Ohio Trexx, Laney Bug and Travel'n Turtle stopped by a tiny church located near Niagara Falls to locate another wonderful stamp and see the cutest church!

Trexx meets MomMelMeg in Ohio

MomMelMeg's littlest boxers visit The Changing of Season's Garden Box of Travel'n Turtle. (Don't look to closely, it might help find this mystery box.)

Laney Bug (holding Boxing Buddy: Young Filly), Hugs (holding Trexx), and Little Filly looking on. These are old boxing buddy friends who like to get together and go boxing!

Trexx flies back to the U.S. and heads to the beach

From Overcast, cool England with it's mysterious moors and lovely country side views to Oak Island, North Carolina. Which is hot, sunny and picturesque in a completely different way.

Totally different type of letterboxing, but still a lot of fun. This is Trexx, Blue Bunny and Farley's last adventure together; when the weekend is over the two visiting buddies head home. Trexx is careful to slather sunscreen on Farley and Blue Bunny and takes them to some exciting spots.













Oak Island has lots of peaceful, under used parks that are great for letterboxing. There is also an extremely fun series by MnMs4 that takes you on a trail that actually goes onto a beach. You'll see the picture here with the water on it. That was the trail when we returned; high tide had obviously come in! We had to wade across; such letterboxing adventures!

Boxing in Mousehole and Penzance

The Cornwall coast has lots of darling, picturesque fishing villages to visit. Two that we visited were Mousehole (home of two letterboxes) and Penzance of Pirate fame (home of one letterbox). The buddies were very excited to visit pirate territory!























We all enjoyed the letterboxing, looking through shops, the famous Cornish Vanilla ice cream and Cream Teas. Delicious and fun! The weather was very similar to San Francisco, with a chill in the air coming off the water.






Laney Bug was very excited to send a postcard by "Letterbox". Okay, she hadn't a clue, but mom, Travel'n Turtle was excited!
