Wow, Letterboxing is a ton of fun, and its nice to meet other people who think it's fun too. On Saturday, February 18th, in Highland Forest in Fabius, NY, was the Desparately Seeking Sun letterbox gathering, hosted by Lock Wench. What a great job she did! There was Letterboxing Bingo, great raffle prizes, letterboxes indoors and out, and of course a pot luck that was huge. Joystar, Wyvern, and LOSTGIRL were all there (you know...the relations) and a lot of other familar faces that Laura and I met at the Western NY gathering last summer.
We had a great time outdoors finding boxes. It was about 10 degrees above zero, so our hikes were short, sometimes only long enough for someone to jump out of the car, go get the box, and jump back into the car for everyone to stamp into. We strategically found boxes that would help us on the Bingo game, and it paid off. Joystar won the Bingo game, and we shared the gas gift cards with Wyvern and LOSTGIRL since we all got the four rows of letterboxes together. We also got Lock&Lock containers for getting two rows done. 
After the gathering we headed to Syracuse to the hotel. You know, after a day of finding small boxes in the woods, you would think we could find our hotel. But good old mapquest gave us directions down a dead end street. Oh yeah, there is the hotel, but its on the otherside of I-90! We settled in though and had fun chatting and watchng Olympics. It was a great day of letterboxing, and I feel very inspired now to carve more stamps, and get more boxes hidden.

Nice pictures! From the message boards at AQ sounds like everyone had a great time. I had fun despite the weather and am really inspired to get more boxes out there. Can't wait for the snow to melt!!!
Sounds like a great time. Next time, take Tracy. And leave her there. :-)
