This September, Marissa (Gollygee) and I went to Oregon to go to a HUGE, 3 day letterboxing event called, We All Live and Breathe Letterboxing. It was the 10th anniversary of letterboxing in the U.S.!

This is the event stamp!

We flew into Portland, OR late Wednesday night. And was greeted and picked up by the wonderful Susan (KUKU). She was our gracious host for the week and let Marissa and I stay with her before and after the event.

Early Thursday morning we got up to go to Susan's beautiful church for a Meet and Great the East Coasters event, held and hosted by Susan as well! She made wonderful blueberry waffles and everyone else chipped in and brought goodies and we had a wonderful brunch!

Golly-Moon!

Some of us finding a letterbox outside, so Alice took a quick group photo. After this photo was taken we headed out for a local letterbox and munched on many, many, blackberries. & got to meet up with more letterboxers that evening.

Friday we left Susan's house and headed out to Molala, OR for the L&B event, but we stooped in Oregon City and checked out some of the sites.

Here is Marissa and Susan stamping in.

This picture is not too special, but it was taken at 1:30am, yes, we were still letterboxing!

Saturday night there was a BALL at the event, and this is our cabin dressed all up!

Go Waverly!

Being the silly east-coasters that we are, we tried to prank Wassa, by stealing all of his boxers' and wearing them to the Ball, but the joke was on us, he was not there to see us in all of our glory!

The 3 day event was incredible and so very well done! We had a great time and hope to get to go to it again!

That Monday morning, we got up early and headed out to the West Coast.

The "Hay Stack" is the rounded rock in the water to the upper right. This picture was taken from Ecola State Park.

This is our East Coast group at the West Coast!

Golly-Moon!

Downtown Cannon Beach, messing around!
