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.

Eight Is Enough

My friend from England was coming to Georgia to visit. We have known one another for quite a few years and every now and then get together either here, there or someplace in between (like last summer when I met her in Quebec for a wedding and didn't know either the bride nor the groom and was the only person from the US in attendance). She had a list of things she wanted to do including going to a Braves game, touring CNN, experiencing the Redneck Games (alas, they were not happening while she was here; too bad), seeing the pandas at the zoo, spending a few days in Savannah/Tybee, etc. I also added a few things like walking at Kennesaw Mountain, going to the Yellow Daisy Festival at Stone Mountain, visiting the Kangaroo Center in Dawsonville, seeing Amicalola Falls, oh, and just maybe a little letterboxing. I mean, really, what kind of friend would I be if I didn't drag her along?

Well, the actual letterboxing story here is somewhat boring. Aysha, Artemis and I went and walked a little on the Silver Comet Trail west of Atlanta and picked up a few boxes then when Aysha and I were in the Savannah area we got a couple more.

So why do I even bother mentioning this trip as a blog entry?

1. Aysha now has 8 finds though she has no trail name or stamp. She just came along for the walks and helped look (and pulled out a couple Artemis and I missed). She also has a firm belief that any clues I may write should require the seeker to spirouette/pirouette a certain number of times while walking along the trail so you have been warned.

2. I have officially been boxing for one year now, with 160 finds in five states (AZ, GA, NC, OH, SC) on "the day". I think I like this hobby...
