The Hounds of Boxerville

Thomas and I were invited by Mark and Sue Pepe to join a group of letterboxers for a Pinecone Adventure to Dartmoor. This is the third Pinecone Adventure to the Moors and our first. We are so incredibly happy and honored to be traveling with this group to the birthplace of letterboxing. Our trip takes place from August 28 - September 11, 2014. This blog will chronicle the trip as well as activities before and after the trip.

Pinecone Adventures Returns to the Moor with The Hounds of Boxerville.

The road in front of us grew bleaker and wilder over huge russet and olive slopes, sprinkled with giant boulders. Now and then we passed a moorland cottage, walled and roofed with stone, with no creeper to break its harsh outline.

A Little More Information

Information regarding the trip continues to trickle in and planning also continues. Mark P. reminded us of the Yahoo Talk List and wanted us to make sure to sign up so that we could get all the information as it becomes available and be able to respond to any questions he would ask us.

Mark P. gave us a little more information about the airfare and let us know that sometime soon we will need to provide an $80 deposit per person to the air consolidator. We still don't have the actual flights or price but that shouldn't be long in coming. He also mentioned that we will need deposits for the cottage and vans sometime in March. I still haven't done anything about connecting flights because I need to find out the actual times of the flight from New York to London.

We have also had a change in who is going to make the trip. Grumpy Grinch and Talking Turtle & Hugh have decided not to take the trip and Lisa (from the HowD Girls) has joined the group. So we went from 19 to 15 to 16 in the matter of a month. Since the trip isn't until this coming August I guess we are in for more changes - oh well, it will all work out. I am sure there will be more planning during the new year.
