Spring Fling ‘06

One word for it: awesome. We couldn’t have had better weather, and Tom and Jill did a superb job organizing everything. My only complaints for the day were that 1) we brought cookies for lunch, like nearly everybody else (Note to selves: be more original!) and 2) B’s allergies were really acting up. As the day progressed, he became a non-stop sneezing machine. At one point, he sneezed for so long and so loudly that a biker on another trail shouted “Bless you” as she zoomed by! So, we didn’t get to box as much as J would have liked (we finished the May Day series and SpringChick’s, but had to pass on TrailTroll’s)… but it was still loads of fun.

And it goes without saying that it was a real treat to meet new letterboxers and do exchanges. Of the attendants, we only knew SpringChick, TrailTroll, Azobox, and TJ_Mich beforehand… but by the end we had met (and received the lovely stamps of) J-Walkers, TeamRabbit, the IrishClovers, Silver Thorn, the Michigan Patriot, Sunfleur, PennyPenny, and Spartanfans. It is so nice to put a face with a trail name/box!. Plus, a few PT’s were exchanged, too!

J did take a few pics of the day, but Blogger is being really, really, really annoying and not letting her upload them. So, look for them in the Photo section og LbGLK.
