I had decided to head to the Lebanon area to do some boxing since there are certainly a plethora of new boxes in the area. I was anxious to see what the new crop of planters had to offer so I headed west in spite of the drizzle that was bouncing off my windshield. There have been approximately 100 new boxes placed within 20 miles of Lebanon since I had last boxed in that area and as usual, I try to get all of the boxes in a park before moving on to another one. My first stop was to the Union Tunnel Canal park, one which I have visited many times for other boxes so I was familiar with the layout and with the fact that the North Portal is actually a totally separated section of this park. I quickly found the boxes there but before I could replace the last box, a man walking a dog in the light rain created a problem with returning the box. My trusty camera to the rescue! Love these cattails!
My next stop was to the location of my favorite box of the day, Ancient Evil. I love graveyard boxes and the clues to this box were kind of spooky when I was actually standing in this old burial ground. It was nicely done with a well carved stamp.
My last stop for the day was in a park that truly violated one of my biggest dislikes in boxing, boxes every twenty feet with a log book in each in a very nondescript park. Unfortunately, I had not thought to make some stickers with my stamp on to put in the logbooks so it took me a veryyyyyyyyyy long time to finish up the fourteen boxes that were there. To make matters worse, when I got home, I found out that there were three more placed in the same park on the same day that I was there. It is debatable whether I will return for the remaining three boxes. Probably if I wait long enough, there will be another four or five placed there!
