Balance Rock

The guys did go all the way up and tried to push it off. J said that a guy once tried to blow it up and they had to go in and fix it. Which led to a discussion on what we'd do if it did fall over.

I think the box would survive though, one of the entries said it survived a fire!

Cute green troll

Well, wouldn't you know it- I didn't go out prepare, and this one needed help I couldn't totally give. Water logged! But, the book was there and so was the stamp. I turned everything inside out and tried to dry the book up as much as I could. Yay for a paper towel and a windy day! I didn't stamp the book, but I did write in it, didn't want my ink to stain the other pages.

It was a great spot though- and a nice little walk. Even with the wind, cold and snow!

Hell's 1/2 Acre

How could you not want to put a box here?! It screamed for one- and since I didn't want to go off the trail, it's not hidden where you might think it would be! I would suggest walking the trails though- too bad our puppy wasn't welcomed (no pets) but J stayed with the dog and the kid and I stuck to the pavement. It was an awesome walk- I wish more rest area's had walking paths.

Elephant Cave

I have to admit, this kind of freaked me out. So I decided to be the look out in case any crazy people came to celebrate their Easter Sunday in a cave!

We had no luck finding anything logable here, there should have been 3 boxes. We found parts of one- with shot guns shells all over the ground. They blew it apart, literally. We covered the area hoping to find the log book or just the stamp, but no such luck.

The kid was upset that someone would do that. I agree, bring your own targets and leave our game alone!!

God Blessed Texas!

No, I didn't get to make a trip home for Easter weekend, but I did leave a symbol of home in one of my favorite parts of the drive to Twin Falls. I love this area- and I am always amazed that it literally looks like you are going to drive into the mountain instead of going on a road!

My husband thought the road should have gone a different way- but I am glad they didn't do that!

While hiding this we also found a geocache, right where *I* wanted to hide ours. :)

Boxing road trip #2!

The road trip took us from our home in south western Montana, to Twin Falls, Idaho-- and all around. We went down one way, and home part way differently. Lots of boxes found, more boxes hidden.

Only one place was a bust. We'd planned on going into Boise, but it just wasn't to be. Next time. We also got our 1st FIRST FINDER!! I was told we'd been a FF before, but I honestly don't recall that... so for now- this one was it. Was thrilled, because it was hidden a long while ago.

Roadside caves, machine guns, rain, snow, mud, animal skeletons and so much more! What fun times. Stay tuned-- eventually I'll be putting up all the pictures and stories to go with them. But first-- we need to type up the directions for the boxes we hid!
