I woke up tired this morning so I decided to take it a little slower than yesterday. When I finally got showered and dressed I headed down to the hotel lobby for some breakfast and a whole lot of coffee. While I ate I went over all the clues I had and decided what I really wanted to do. Once I had figured things out I loaded the car, checked out of the hotel and headed for my first stop.
I went to the 11th Street Nature Preserve to look for a couple of boxes placed by dewberry - one I found and the other she had removed the day before to send back to the owner. I am going to be a little vague about the next places I went to because some of the boxes I found today were mysteries and I wouldn't want to give anything away. I did have a great time walking around the places I went to. I saw a swampy area and I passed trees with spanish moss on them - I was beginning to feel nostalgic. I sat at a viewing area and just had flashbacks of growing up in southern Louisiana. It was a wonderfully relaxing 15 minutes. I also found some incredible boxes. The clues were mysteries and I thought that they were cleverly done. And when I found the boxes I also thought that the stamps were also nicely done. I even walked through mud and water to find these boxes. I found all the boxes on my list and decided it was time to head out of Houston. I actually didn't really get all that far. I ended up in Spring. I arrived at Mercer Arboretum with clues for a series placed by The Texians and a WOM box that dewberry had sent me. I parked and then went to the pavillion to read over the clues for the dewberry box - Pas de Deux/It Takes Two. With the clues in my head I headed down the trail and found the box quickly. After stamping in and rehiding the box I returned to the car and made my way to the next pavillion.
Again I sat at the pavillion and read over the clues so that I could have some idea of what I was doing. I made my way along the trails searching for the boxes and rereading the clues along the way. I found all the boxes except one - I even went back once I had finished the series - I hope it was me and not the box being missing. Once I finished the series I sat at the Cypress Swamp and thought about Louisiana. I cannot tell you how incredible this series was.
Murder at the Arboretum was a complete package: the story, the clues, the stamps, the logbooks and the hiding spots. It was just so well done. And ending the day with Murder turned out to be a good thing.
