Shall We Gather At The River

The city of Murfreesboro is Smack Dab In The Middle of the state of Tennessee. On the Northeast part of town there is a monument that accounts for this geographic phenomenon. I was thinking that it would be a great idea to have as many folks as would like to come to meet at that monument, but parking would not allow, space would not allow, and the city parks and recreation department would not allow. Needless to say the Murfreesboro Police Department would not allow either. That is why we are moving it to the Southeast part of town. Besides that it will put us geographically closer to our friends in the great letterboxing state of North Carolina, where letterboxing rules. OK so it's only 7 miles closer, but every little bit helps.
Here is what we are going to do. We are going to meet at Barfield Park on Barfield Crescent Road. This park is kid and pet friendly, but please observe the leash laws at all times (you might want to leash your dogs as well). There will be lots of fun; lots of stuff for kids to do; Frisbee golf; playgrounds; picnic tables; a great trail system that follows the East Fork of The Stones River; a wonderful Widerness Station; a potluck lunch; maybe they will have a pool by then, I don't know. It isn't in the planning, but one can never say. I am going to try to teach some rocks how to play the guitar so we might have a rock concert; OK maybe that was stretching it a bit, but there will be LETTERBOXES!!!!!
We will be having a raffle for a gear bag full of gear so buy your tickets early and buy your tickets often. If you have something you would like to contribute to the raffle please contact me off-board, via AQ-mail.
Lunch as previously stated, will be potluck so everyone bring something and please let me know ahead of time what you will be bringing so we can coordinate lunch a little better and so I will know where to stand in the lunch line.
Temporary boxes will be placed all over the park for the day, but there are lots of permanent boxes around town, so if you want to get there early and box your way towards us you can.
I hope to see lots of you there. There may be some of you there that I don't care anything about seeing, but we will deal with that then. There may even be some missing that I wish had been there. We will just send the ones I don't want to see to pick you guys up. Surly everyone knows I am playing. I look forward to seeing all of you then. Now... SIGN UP!
