Kingdom of Callaway Fails

After a five month hiatus of letterboxing, I am back at it, spurred on by the recent AQ mail I have received that there are people finding my micro-series in Columbia! Indeed, it is on of the better drugs to be hooked on: human interaction. 

I am now located out of Fulton and as such have started to tackle the boxes in the area, including abandoned or unknown ones. Today me and my forever LBing partner, 'lane line lover', searched for a box north of downtown Fulton called The Presbyter, which we found to no longer be in existence. 

Then we drove out past Williamsburg to look for a box by Lnd-Crzr named "Safe Cracker" in an attempt to stop the sinister Baron Von Krackhousen. We were able to crack the cipher and make it out to the field that the safe was located in. It was a very pleasant hike on this beautiful Halloween afternoon, but alas we got mixed up with the clues about 75% of the way there. We were also discouraged by the amount of bushwhacking through tall grass we would have to make to get where we needed to be. It might be a better box to do once January hits. 

Lane line lover and I would like to plant some more boxes in Fulton and find more boxes in Columbia, and we hope that anyone else in the area will join us! 

Thanks, and until i have another update, stay classy. 

Winter is here!

 Hello friends on the internet. What a time to be alive! I am back up in Kirksville for my final semester at university and there is loads of snow everywhere. 

The depressing state of the weather, combined with no chance of letterboxing for a while made me want to post once again on here, and mention a hike my fiance and I took a few weeks ago when it was nice. We went to Three Creeks Conservation area, and found the two boxes there which I had found once before on a solo boxing trip this past summer. They are Jenny J's boxes, one of which is the oldest LB in Boone county! 2002 I think! I was 3 then haha. 

THREE CREEKS BOX

I highly recommend those trails, and the past three times I have gone all the creeks have been bone dry. 

One last thing, and I hope she won't mind me mentioning it, but Jenny J informed me that her husband has recently passed. She said that although he never LB'ed himself he was always willing to hike with her to different boxes. Please send her your thoughts and prayers, as it is always sad for us to lose a member of the MidMo letterbox community. Stay safe and I'll see you all once the snow is gone!
