This blog is for posting my letterboxing related activities and information. It will consist of trip reports, noteworthy accomplishments, particularly memorable days, event wrap-ups, running totals, etc. Basically, if it relates to letterboxing in some way and I felt it worth recording, it is here.

It is also (temporarily) a work in progress. I went through my logbook and made a list of things I "would have written about" had this actually started from day one. What that means is the blog is live starting in August 2007 but most older posts have been (or are in the process of being) recreated based on my memories so may be lacking some specifics. Also keep in mind that because of this some "new" posts may drop into their proper place in the past and you may miss them if you don't check the archive occasionally. Ideally, I will only be doing this backlogging for a couple months but could miss things that are not discovered until AFTER I turn this loose on the world and someone mentions it to me. Anyway, I hope you occasionally find something worth reading here...

Dec-07: Backlog Update - All old posts through August 2005 are done but will not show up on the AQ blog feed due to their old dates. I will try to get the next "year" done soon and hopefully after that, they will be new enough to hit the feed list.

Feb-08: The old monthly stats have been temporarily removed until I catch up the stories since I figure people would rather see them appear on the AQ Blog feed, even when old, than stats only.

P.S. Why the charts and graphs? I was a science major in college and like them so wanted to make some. Yes, that is a lame answer. If they bore you, just skip them. They will appear on the last day of every month and my "boxing year (August-31)" with no other info or anything to read so you won't miss anything.

I'm gonna get medieval on your ass! + A Swap Meet

Today's entry was almost not written since letterboxing was just a side trip. But as you will see later, there was a reason. What was really on the schedule today was a trip to the south side of Atlanta to visit the Georgia Renaissance Festival. While on that side of town we also made a trip over to Peachtree City to get SpaceShipOne as well as Peachtree City Puzzlebox Series.

Let me tell you a little bit about the Puzzleboxes. After going through all the decoding, the series takes you to four areas around town. Well, unlike probably most people, we actually parked at the first location and walked the series. And walked. And walked. It was a lot longer than I would have thought. I am not sure what the total distance ended up being but definitely a few miles or more. Eventually, after we traipsed all over the place, we were almost to the last box and actually met a small group of people coming out of the woods behind the lake who were letterboxers, and they were fairly new. So we stopped and chatted with them for a while and got an exchange, our first, with amystephencaleb. Since this was the first other letterboxers we had met, I felt I should document it, even if it was just a minor boxing day. From there, we went over and had some turkey legs and meade at the Renaissance Festival while exploring.
