Nightboxing for daytrippers (and other updates)

First, this commercial break in honor of the upcoming event (forgive me if I get the words wrong to this commercial...haven't lived in Pennsylvania in nearly 20 years, but the tune won't leave my HEAD!!!):

If...you...
Feel like riding, just climb in your car
The roller coaster capital is right where you are!
The Enterprise'll rocket you around and around,
The Laser Loop is gonna take you up when you're down,
The Log Jammer's gonna drench you 'til you're anything but dry,
The Thunderbolt will be a blast from outta the sky!

Kennywood Park, Kennywood Park
Around the corner and out of this world!

Okay, so that's just ONE amusement park you'll find at the gathering, but one of my favorites nonetheless! :-) Now on to the important stuff!

Just found out that Darien Lakes SP is open until 11pm to vistors, so those of you who can't come for the official gathering at the pavillion on August 26th can still show up later that evening to do some boxing (I've already changed the time for the gathering to last until 11pm instead of 5pm). The night boxes will ONLY be there that night , though (since they can't be left in the spots we're placing them longer than that), so you will definitely want to make this trip!

Also, we're thinking of taking Lock Wench's suggestion and making a set of the day boxes into a psuedo-road rally (meaning you'll follow a set of driving clues instead of walking ones). Darien Lakes doesn't have quite as many trees and such for hiding boxes, so we've got to take advantage of the surrounding area instead. It won't be as intense as the Road Rally we went to in PA, but it'll be a chance for those of you who've not boxed in Genesee, Orleans & maybe even Niagara County to pick up something old and something new in the way of local boxes.

Some of the stamps will be placed in the current permanent boxes on your route, while others will be placed as new permanent boxes. No matter what, we intend to only have ONE logbook at the very end rather than a full set of logbooks for each box (since that really backfired at the last gathering...too many people all in one place!)

Anyway, hope this encourages more of you to stop in and say hi...hope to see you soon!
