Went to Ashland last weekend to visit the in-laws. Did some maintenance on Black Diamond and Mother, and changed the clues a bit to reflect some changes in topography. Also left a little present there... I'm hoping to carve a Centralia stamp this week and plant it up there when we go back to the area this weekend for a christening.

I also slightly modified the clues to my Ben Franklin series, as it seems people are getting hung up on my mention of Statesman and not using their noggins to find Founder and Inventor.

We were in RI over Labor Day to visit my parents. It was really nice, and I took my parents 'boxing! It was my dad's first "find" (even though I've been doing this for almost 2 years). I think he liked it, and hopefully they'll do some finding of their own. He even came up with a trail name for them - The Tall and Short of It (my dad is 6'5, and my mom is 5'3)! Go parents! I also found my 100th stamp in the form of a HH while in RI. It's a good thing I don't keep track of my PFX count, or I'd be sad that it took me almost 2 years. But I don't really care - I'm in it for the fun and outdoors, not the number of finds.

In any case, I've barely been 'boxing. Gas prices are just too out of control for us to justify taking random drives to find Tupperware right now. It stinks!
