Rendezvous at the Ridge Really Rocked (right?)

Okay, all alliteration aside (okay, all aside after THAT last bit!), Chadams and Lady Lilac were once again the most gracious of hosts! :-) They carved a beautiful event stamp and walked people all around for stamps they already had or had personally created (pretty impressive to do when you think they did all that walking and I don't think they got a SINGLE stamp for themselves!). They were just as helpful with the groups that went off on their own, giving directions precise directions so no one got lost. I was sans Highlander, but had a Dancer RP (one of my students) as a bonus rider, so I was grateful for anything that could get us right to the boxes without her getting disappointed. We hiked like CRAZY, but got tons of great stamps, which is exactly what Chestnut Ridge is all about. Plus, the Highlander (who couldn't make it because of his neck pain) stayed in contact via text messages and had Chadams believing I was somehow mentally linked to AQ by logging finds for me while I was still on the trail! LOL

Also, I was REALLY happy to meet some of our neighbors to the north...Canadians rule! :-) Fiddleheads turned out to be a fellow D & D geek and picked up out Sword of Omens PT, all the while blowing sunshine up my ego about my funny stories (including the ones about voyeuristic gophers...very concerned about the lack of proper entertainment up Canada way...!) :-) Plus, the 4 Sailors and LAndmark Leapsters we're just some of the nice folks you could hope to meet. Hopefully, we'll be joining them in September for Box ON in Guelph and we can trick...er, convince them to come back down for the WNY event in August.

Anyway, for those of you who missed it, you REALLY missed it, so...don't miss it again! If Chadams and/or Lady Lilac says they're throwing a boxing event (heck, if they say they're throwing a FIT), you GET here and destroy all those who get in your way (won't THAT be FUN?!)

The (glad to be back boxing again for the first time since 2007) Sprite & the (looking forward to next time) Highlander
