First ever National Planting day PLANTS
many have Cherokee names and themes so may not be pronounced as they appear ;-)
Some require translation to get the clues...but relax...it is much easier than you might think.
  • Kituhwa
  • Oconaluftee: wa-la-si
  • Oconaluftee: ga-nu-tsi-ta-li
  • Judaculla
  • Unto these Hills: Eternal Flame
  • Unto these Hills: Eagle Dancer
  • Unto these Hills: Trail of Tears
  • 7 clans ( a series of 7)
  • Tsa la Gi
  • Ka Lo Na
  • Great Spirit
  • Totem
  • Go Jo
Whew!!
Come and get 'em!!

ps. I like the quality of some of the Cherokee boxes better than any I've done.

Yes, It has been awhile since I have taken the time to sit and write here. I just haven't been in the mood to write much. Sure did alot of carving though for National Day of Letterbox Planting on May 24th. Most all of the 19 boxes I listed that day was actually planted on that day. I didn't have time to do the clues for many of them because of all the planting. It took days to get all the clues up.

For the most part...I have been really excited about my efforts for planting day. The logbooks were handmade, of course the stamps were hand carved and I found some good locations with historical significance etc. I can't wait for them all to get their "First Finders".
