Just back from WL late yesterday, made two trips to find the Memory Box....Sunday Nov 16th myself, nephew and his girlfriend had the entire day at the WL I was taking the day to let my injured knee recuperate a little, plus my nephew had to drive back to Gainsville he, and friend had classes Monday morning.
At apx 1:00 we start, as we are walking I tell them we must be careful not to let anyone see what we are doing as this is a stealth mission, also that we may encounter wildlife some friendly, some hostile....(my grown nephew informs Bella GF and myself that during the early afternoon we wont be seeing any wildlife that all sould be OK) We take about three steps......then we all jump startled as three beautiful deer run though the undergrowth..I look at Bella as she looks at me then we both turn on DN...."Ah, I ment raccoons." We started laughing then proceeded, we found the box and walked away from hiding location to look though contents I had explaned about the box and how Majestic had started it last September, loved reading the cards and seeing momentoes. WE all loved the New York City Twin Towers post card that Starz723 left, Thanks Marge, we thought that it should be left with the box so everyone can experience seeing the New York Skyline as it once was. We pack everthing back in the box and placed it back in the hiddy place.
We walked back to the lodge to have late lunch at WCC and decide what I should add to the box. (Great lunch and Tumbleweed was our server)....We had a plan, DN and Bella headed for DTD, (after a hunt for Hidden Mickey's at the Lodge.) I was ready to revisit the Memory Box to add my mementoe.
Monday Nov 17th, return visit myself, sister, and 6 year old nephew.....DS and DN had been at AK yesterday when I had visited the box. This trip I let nephew read instructions and lead the way he was so physched and made DS keep a look-out during the hike to box so no one would see us. We didn't encounter any animals this trip, but when he saw the X on the tree he yells, "X MARKS THE SPOT" and found the Memory Box. He was so excited and decided to choose the Pooh erasers as a momento from the box. I added my card and special something for Majestic in the box and returned it to the hidding place ready for the next DIS explorer.
FloridaCat we need a bigger box....It's hard to place lid back on.
P.S. When I called my grown nephew's Mother last night I asked if he and Bella had a good time....she said all they talked about was some Memory Box hunt you went on???? I laughed and gave her the information, so now she wants to hunt for MB next trip the May.
THANK YOU FRED.....
