The corn maize had numbers throughout it and you could grab questions on different categories. We were a big group and we grabbed questions on different subjects, so when we got to a number, we would be sure on the answers ("this number we turn left").<BR/><BR/>Except some teenagers came along and ripped out all the numbers after 2. We wandered around in there forever in the dark.<BR/><BR/>You might have heard us tho, because sometimes we were going one way and I'd stand there directing, saying, "This way is North." Got a funny reaction from a couple not in our group. . .<BR/><BR/>Mainekokopellian & I went and looked around in the cemetary, picked up the hearse, etc. on Monday morning. Which there was frost on the ground, so that was fun. MKK will be eventually cleaning up his cemetery and maybe can see yours if it's there.<BR/><BR/>We also went to Totem Bear country and looked around for Amanda's. That would be a miracle to find, as there are so many trees and skads of needles and such on the ground.<BR/><BR/>But I did want to let you know we looked before we took off for some last minute boxing.<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying we wouldn't have held them for ransom if we had found them. . .<BR/><BR/>KuKuAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31054369.post-23855951612649462972007-10-29T09:36:00.000-07:002007-10-29T09:36:00.000-07:00I think I saw it listed on ebay.

There was a Nancy Drew one in the lot too, but I thought the whole thing was a bit overpriced.<BR/><BR/>Good luck, I'm sure it will turn up, you'll have the whole country looking.<BR/><BR/>jackbearjackbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249253531863873953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31054369.post-20919955210087140362007-10-29T08:07:00.000-07:002007-10-29T08:07:00.000-07:00Oh Great One,If the stamp in question were a true ...Oh Great One,<BR/><BR/>If the stamp in question were a true Homage, the name woudl be something like the "Green Potato(e)" or "Green Kahuna" or some such.<BR/><BR/>LBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31054369.post-44196207771003541152007-10-29T06:59:00.000-07:002007-10-29T06:59:00.000-07:00Is this part of the "3rd on the 6th" caper? -RoseIs this part of the "3rd on the 6th" caper? -RoseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31054369.post-28369879071546034352007-10-28T21:20:00.000-07:002007-10-28T21:20:00.000-07:00I wish I'd known you were coming to Salem.

Salem is a strange little town, and it is best to go with someone who knows his or her way around, so as not to get sucked into the worst of the touristy junk.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like your experience with Boston driving is about par for the course. I've been here two years and still haven't learned how to interpret the signage (when it exists).

Get tired of writing that "Green Tortuga" every time I stamp. Really need to carve it directly into the stamp! Or maybe just "El Tortuga." That sounds more manly, I think. *nodding* Not like there are any other tortugas running about to confuse me with.<BR/><BR/>And I wanted a new stamp for thru-hiking the Florida Trail. So it looks like my old signature stamp is done for now! (But I'd still like to keep it for sentimental reasons if it turns up. *sniffle*)Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243706924573005381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31054369.post-62641000711998461782007-10-28T20:13:00.000-07:002007-10-28T20:13:00.000-07:00Hhhmmmm....as one of the LAST people to do an exch...Hhhmmmm....as one of the LAST people to do an exchange with Green Tortuga before he set out for that fated rainy-night-boxing misadventure, I might be a suspect in this mystery. Add to this my dismay when he did not even RECOGNIZE me when he later saw me (maybe because I had more fabric hiding my head than I had for the rest of my costume when first we met & exchanged). Yes, and now I learn that I've been further scorned...and for Death itself! I'd be suspicious of me. But, alas, I do not have it, for if I did, I'd try to sell it in the AQ Marketplace. My true regret is that I seem not have acquired Amanda's exchange before she lost HER stamp! Yikes. The East Coast just didn't want you two to leave, I guess. And, as good letterboxing visitors, you couldn't depart Maine without leaving your stamps, could you? (Next time, the imprint will be sufficient.)~zess~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05634045708035960950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31054369.post-66617393181131003732007-10-28T19:21:00.000-07:002007-10-28T19:21:00.000-07:00Great to see you both again.
