BoxON! 2013 - Ode to the 80's Mixed Tape: A Jammin Letterboxing Party

Congratulations to our hosts at Box ON! 2013. We had an amazing time.

First find was Cecil Won the Race Kitchener ON http://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?gBoxId=200878. And then we got serious and started looking for the new boxes that were planted just for this meet up. We teamed up with another family and found all 6 of the boxes in the

1980's Bands Series Kitchener ON http://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?gBoxId=228550. One of them was especially tricky but we did it!

After a delicious picnic lunch at the pavillion in Huron Park we headed back into the woods to find all the 1980's Album Covers Kitchener ON http://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?gBoxId=228548. We were nearly tripped up by one set of clues but figured them all out just like any good seasoned letterboxing team would . . . LOL.

We moved on to Rockway Gardens to find our 300th box . . . Can-Am Merger Kitchener ON http://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?gBoxId=202317

Austin is holding our 300th box and Taylor says 3, Cameron says 0 and I say 0 . . . woo hoo . . .

By the time we found Greetings, Earthling Kitchener ON http://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?gBoxId=221075 and Flutterby Kitchener ON http://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?gBoxId=209198, it was time to head to the Rum Runners Pub to meet up with everyone else who were attending, have dinner, do exchanges and win a few prizes.

It was an amazing day. I don't know how the volunteers (I don't know who they are) for 2014 are going to top this meet up.

Here’s How To Cook This Springtime Veggie Properly Fiddleheads are a Canadian delicacy, but undercooking them can lead to food poisoning by Amy Grief Updated Apr 9, 2019 Fiddlehead season is short, so when you see the adorable green curlicues at your grocery store or farmers’ market, buy them while you can. Before chowing down on these little springtime delicacies, there’s a few things you should know first since fiddleheads can cause food poisoning if they’re not cooked properly. What are fiddleheads?

Here's this week's challenge: Your challenge this week is to S.P.A.C.E. your paper - - and I mean ALL of your paper: cardstock, patterned paper, specialty papers, and all those SCRAPS! SORT: Bring all of your paper to one area. Sort it all into piles: KEEP, SELL, DONATE, TRASH PURGE: bag up, and assign a price to paper bundles that you want to SELL at a garage sale or online, and put the bags in the garage sale box. Throw out the TRASH pile. Bag up the DONATE pile and immediately make arrangements for drop-off/pick-up or put in your vehicle. ASSIGN: separate your paper into categories that make sense to you.
