Chloe arrived home!!

Wow!! Chloe sure did have a great time with AFBrat!!! She's been talking just about non-stop about her extended visit since she arrived home!

She came home with not only her own pretty thick logbook filled, but 2 others!!!!!!

Thanks AFBrat for showing her such a great time!

She's going to rest up for a few days while we make her a new logbook & then off to Canada for her! She'll be visiting JennieGee and 2 of her Boxing Buddy siblings will be there along with her!

Chloe Escapes Frozen Northeast for Florida Sun

After our first snowfall of the season Chloe begged to join us in Florida for our vacation.  Here she is in Juno Beach finding our first south Florida box.  She really enjoyed chasing all the lizards!

Lucky for Chloe she has a fur coat!

Before the really cold weather started in Massachusetts Chloe got to play with some friendly neighborhood beavers.  But, she just couldn't gnaw on the trees like they can. 

Boxing in Andover, Mass

Chloe and I spent a beautiful Saturday boxing in nearby Andover.  The area is loaded with boxes, but we went after some in the Harold Parker Forest.  There were lots of dog-walkers and mountain bikers so we had to be stealthy!

Here's Chloe with one of the stamps in the Andover Dragon's Lair series by The Merry Pranksters.  The series has 9 boxes and we found them all!

Here's Chloe posing with our first find of the day The Yellow Submarine, also by The Merry Pranksters. 

Fall Boxing in the Fallen Leaves

Recently, Chloe has been enjoying boxing in the cool, fall weather.  The change of the seasons has been really beautiful and she loves running through the fallen leaves!  Chloe also has helped me with two Christmas postals we mailed out today.  She had fun supervising me as I carved the stamps and constructed the logbooks!

37 Boxes in one day!

Wow,  Chloe's paws are sure tired tonight after searching for 37 boxes today.  We did a series of 36 dedicated to the 2008 Summer Olympics in Hopkinton, MA.  We found a 37th one dedicated to Scott and Lisa who had just gotten married.  Unfortunently my camera battery was dead, so I couldn't get any pics of Chloe digging out these great little stamps.  She was a real trooper!

CHLOE VISITS NEW HAMPSHIRE

This past weekend Chloe enjoyed some much needed rest in New Hampshire.  Of course, there was lots of letterboxing, too!  Here's Chloe at Eisenhower Wayside Park in Bretton Woods.  It was a beautiful, clear day with great views of the White Mountains. 

Chloe helped find the Happy Hiker box on the top of Wildcat Mountain after an exciting gondola ride.  She was thrilled to learn the box is located on the Appalachian Trail and is thinking of hiking from Georgia to Maine soon.  

Here's the future AT thru-hiker posing for the camera.  There are a ton of letterboxes along the Appalachian Trail.  I think she is planning on stopping at every one!

Chloe Loves Rock Climbing!

Here's Chloe and her friend Cherry taking in the view from the top of Red Rock in Gloucester.  We had to do some tough rock climbing to get to this box, but it was worth the work!  Tropical Storm Hanna was on the way, so it was an overcast, muggy day.  A little bad weather never slowed us down!  

Once we got to the top of Red Rock it took us quite a while to locate the box.  Once we found the box Chloe volunteered to climb into the space between two big rocks to get it, but she changed her mind when she saw the big spider guarding the box!  Luckily Hubby was there, and he's brave, so we sent him to get the box.  That's chivalry!
