Tree Hugger Letterboxing Meet Up

Tree Hugger Letterboxing Meet Up
May 15, 2010
St. Thomas, Ontario

Please join us for a day or two or three -- whichever works for you. We promise to keep you entertained and letterboxing in some very beautiful areas including Downtown St. Thomas, Old Talbot Street, Pinafore Park and areas further afield.

We will be introducing a new series of boxes representing Heritage Trees at this meet up.

TREES
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree
A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray,
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair
Upon whose blossom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems were made by fools like me
But only God can make a tree.
--Joyce Kilmer

Schedule of Events:

11 am: Registration at Pinafore Park, swaps, goodie bags
12 pm: Pot luck lunch, group photo, and then off letterboxing
7 pm: Supper and social at a local restaurant (location will be determined when we know how many people will be coming)

Last year’s Musical Mystery Tour boxes (a walking tour of downtown St. Thomas) are still active but with some changes, as well as the Pinafore Park boxes. The Dalewood/Waterworks area boxes will be re-planted before the meet up (They were pulled for the winter). And we will be introducing a new series representing Heritage trees.

Clue packages and goodie bags with lots of local information will be provided when your team registers.

If you would like to plant letterboxes while you are visiting us, we would be absolutely thrilled.

See you on the trail,
The Big Blue Team
St. Thomas, ON
