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.

More Post-Trip Information


There really isn't much to report about the Dartmoor trip since I have taken care of quite a bit of stuff since we have returned. But there were still a few loose ends I wanted to handle and I also had made a plan to blog at the end of each month until the end of the year. So here is an update for November.


I went through my journal and decided to take it apart and then put it back together in a better order. I arranged the stamp images according to type and then I added some papers and pictures I had. By the time I finished adding and arranging everything the book was thicker. So I rebound it with bigger wire rings. I also added a pixie charm that I had bought in Widecombe-in-the-Moor. I have also done a little more work on my pictures. But I am still not done. I need to go through about two more days worth of pictures and then sort through them and make some slideshows. One other thing I did was to go through all the literature and brochures I collected. They are now in a folder and I still am not sure what I want to do with them. They may just get filed but I was thinking of trying to bind them somehow. I will let you know what I end up doing and hopefully everything will be complete by the end of next month.
