Moor Torists at Dartmoor West





















Placed: 5/2/08
Location: Little Big Econ State Forest, Oveido, FL
Status: Alive and well
Hand-carved by RTRW



Background

In September of 2008, Sue & I led another group to Dartmoor where we spent a whole week slogging around the moor and hunting under rocks for boxes. RTRW carved our team sig stamp, which we used to log into all of the finds we unearthed that week. At the end of the trip, it was offered back to her and she, in turn, offered it to us to plant. As we've told her before (and you'll notice with our recent plants) we'll take any stamps she choses to gift us. She's a remarkable carver and friend. We're always happy to share her talents with boxingdom.

In preparation for our spring trip to central Florida, I posted something about our pending visit on the Florida talk list on AQ and in a matter of minutes, Three Hearts had contacted us and arranged a special meet & greet for Sue and I with the local boxing crowd. During the months before our visit, countless questions and emails flew between our 2 inboxes. She was a wonderful help to us and spent her day off with us on Friday, May 2, along with Sits N Knits, at Little Big Econ State Forest in Oveido, FL. This box is dedicated to Three Hearts for all she did for us and all she continues to do with helping the growth of central FL letterboxing.

Three Hearts told me in an email that she and Lorax called Little Big Econ "Dartmoor West" because of the growing number of boxes being planted there and the almost unlimited space left for planting. We thought it only proper to leave our Dartmoor team stamp in this location.


Clue:

























Where turtles roam,
you will find this view.
Marjorie might be too chicken to hunt for this one!

Hunt with care!
Thanks to Three Hearts, pictured here, and Sits N Knits for helping us plant.
