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.

Two Months Until Departure

This month I contacted Mark P. to find out the company he was using for the rental vans so that I could see what they had in terms of a car we might be able to rent. He told me he was using 5th Gear. So I have been looking over their website trying to decide the type of car we want and other little things. I have also emailed the company to get clarification about a few things. Hopefully I can make a decision early next month.
We also got some reminders . . . check passport expiration dates, let credit card companies know we will be out of the country, how much we need for the kitty, money we will need for other things (Stonehenge, a couple of dinners, pub libations, souvenirs, etc.), and that we will have to pay balances in July for airfare, vans and cottages. Lots to think about and to do!
