Oh The Places You Will Go . . .

When our 2 sons graduated college, Betsy & Joe, from The Schmoopies, gave them both the Doctor Suess book entitled "Oh, the Places You Will Go." While it fits a college graduate as they persue their careers of choice, it also is a great title to describe letterboxing - and the places that boxes take a boxer.

One of our boxes in VT, Sugarbush Cheese Block, remains one of our most popular boxes. Everyone tells us in emails how they spend way too much money on the wonderful cheeses that they offer for sale and how friendly the staff is. When we planted this box the owners were more than enthusiastic.

Well, yesterday we received a status report via the "Contact Placer" option on Letterboxing.org from our good pal, Rubaduc. It seems she and Gizz had just found the box and remarked how, growing up, the Duc had crossed the bridge mentioned in our clues many times during her childhood while visiting family and attending reunions in that area. As they made their way into the cheese store, Duc remarked to one of the employees that she grew up in the area, etc.

Come to find out one of the employees is a distant cousin of Rubaduc's but was off for the day. The Duc was told that a family reunion was planned and they were looking for lost relatives - Rubaduc and Chapuline (Duc's sister) being two of the missing.

So besides a letterbox and some cheese, this boxer made a long lost family connection and will attend a family reunion. Oh the places you will go . . .
