Box place during Space Camp event. Clues will be posted soon, but here is background, and posted so those who did attend could log finds:

The Story: At “We Live and Breath Letterboxing Event XV”, we had the pleasure of meeting 4eyes and Poof. We played a trick on them, directing people to their room to get an event box. The next night we found ourselves (Silver Eagle and I ) trapped in our room, as they had gotten even by tying yarn all across our entry to where we had to crawl out the opening to go to the bathroom. While playing a game the next day, something prompted the statement by us that Everything is bigger in Texas. Needless to say, the ladies do not forget things like that. During our next Texas Annual Letterboxing Event, 2 boxes were placed with the help of some mischievous Wisconsin Boxers. Yep, they one upped us, with dedicated boxes to each of us, mine with the quote above. So, I thought this would be only fitting to create a Texas Sized stamp for their event, with help from Silver Eagle in planting, that would once again prove Everything IS bigger in Texas. Have fun!

Directions:
From I94 go north on Race Rd for about 2 miles, then right on Seymour Rd about 1 mile. Turn left into Waterloo Recreation Area, continue straight to Lakeview Shelter and park by Waterloo/Pinckney Trail.

To the Letterbox:
Walk on trail to lake and along it to where trail veers away from lake. Continue 30 steps then go left off trail 20 steps to a double-trunk tree. LB is at back base under sticks & leaves. RT=600 yards.
