One never knows what one will "happen upon" when letterboxing. I snapped this picture last fall while boxing in CNY with CritterLiz. We were "detouring" - although we did not know that at the time - and came across this home. Now, I've seen many things attached to homes for decorations, but gosh darn it this one just "creeps" me out a bit! I can't help but giggle; and yet at the same time wonder what they may have attached to their home during the winter months....
Some situations are just so funny!! You have to love the humor of this "Port-A-John" company! This Potty has been set very close and when I say close, I mean CLOSE to a Propane tank...how can one not but giggle just thinking about the placement of the john and the many forms of "Gas" there are in our world....
While we are the subject of "gas". I snapped this one at dusk once again while "detouring" around the Cortland area. When someone mentions Cortland to me, I think College Hockey, Cortland College, Cuzin Scott (he went to college there), farms. Although, why this work of "art" surprises me so much, I am not sure. As farming & gas do go together!
Speaking of "Art", what a lovely surprise we had when we decided to hunt for one box. This is a family "Art Gallery" at an abandoned farm, where all art is made from scrap metal. I believe they also have a place down in North Carolina. AMAZING AMAZING pieces of art on display here! Unfortunately, all pieces of art for purchase were beyond my budget, maybe I'll be able to purchase when "Pigs Fly". But I sure did appreciate the talent!!! Lots of ahhhs and ohhhs from our entire party.
What can I say but, "When Pigs Fly"
This excursion happened in the Fall of 2008, but recapping it just now has brought many smiles and giggles to my face. We had one really tough challenge at a park. We actually played a relay style game of jumping over each other to find this particular box because there were so many people in the park. We had all the kids lying down at all the benches in the park and we played the "caterpillar" relay game. We finally found the "box"...only to discover it was a GEOCACHE; then we had to play an obnoxious game of "toss" the ball to get the people to leave the bench so we could replace the geocache at one end of the bench & retrieve the letterbox that was on the OTHER end of the bench. Fun Fun Fun & made us use inventive styles of hunting...LOL.
I wish to thank all the planters in this area for giving us a great adventure that weekend. To name just a few..Scout, Red Barn Photos, Lock Wench, AceoHearts, etc., etc. This was one road trip CritterLiz & I will never forget. If any of you get the chance to box in this area, I strongly urge you to do so!!! You will not be disappointed. The stamps are wonderful along with the places the planters will bring you to.
