Mountain Letterboxing Challenge

The thoughts and ideas behind the "Mountain Challenge" has been playing out in my brain for a few months. It is an award program for letterboxers willing to challenge and push themselves to find some of our Mountain letterboxes in the southern Appalachians of mainly western NC.

The challenge includes some previously existing boxes as well as some brand new ones planted this summer. There are more boxes planned and awaiting placement and clues.

The boxes will be considered a challenge either because there are on a long hike or for some reason such as a challenging clue or location to reach. The boxes that will count as a challenge box will be predetermined and be listed as such on the website when it is up and running. Some boxes are already on the list of challenge boxes...so if you want to get started earning your award you may contact me (dixie) for the list of letterboxes already approved as challenges.

The award will be a new Mountain Challenge pathtag and/or patch. We are leaning toward the pathtag as the award at this time.

Stay tuned...

Can you believe...

It's been more than a year since I posted here :(
Yikes.

I have posted on my art blogs and LTC blog but not here.
The past 2 years have been weird for me but I think I may feel a good change coming on.
I hope so :)

My latest biggest project was the Treasure Hiker website
and designing the NC Treasure Hiker pathtags. Mama Fox just got word today that those have finally been shipped so we should see them soon. Woo Hoo!

Now my next big thing should be getting the Mountain Letterboxing Challenge underway.
I already have some super challenging letterboxes from noydb and others lined up to be part of this... as well as some incredible carvings from master carvers coming this way.

Stay tuned....

the NC board went nuts today with this questionaire...
What Kind of Flower are You?

I am a Canna What Flower Are You?

Mine said: "You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets in the way of what other people think. You are proud of yourself and your accomplishments and you enjoy letting people know that."
