NESTING NEAR BY

Here in CNY we are currently between two rain storms. Yesterday (4/21) was a total washout, but the promise of getting at least one letterbox done today looked pretty good. Armed with all type of weather gear for whatever may befall us after church, away we went. It did not rain but it was damp and cold. We had a couple other boxes on our list to try and get, but ended up just doing one that was planted by dear friends of ours from church. She wanted us to let her know how everything was doing with her box because she had not been out to check on it in a long time. This box is located along the tow path of the Old Erie Canal that goes from one end of NY to the other going West to East (or East to West). Most people know the history of the Erie canal even if you are not from NY State.

We had no trouble finding the box and it was in great shape. I will have to tell Mrs. B that she needs to put a new log book in and the main zip lock camo outer bag is not closing and everything inside is in danger of getting wet. She only has two empty pages left on the log book! Mrs. B makes very nice handmade stamps.

The canal just seems to be endless and go on for miles and miles and miles. (Which it does!) We started to get cold and I still didn't feel good coming off of some virus, so we called it done and didn't do the other boxes we had talked about doing. I think we would have if the sun was out and a few degrees warmer.
