Description

Back due to popular demand. This time we will hold it in June...when things are a bit warmer and we all WANT to be out on the trails!

Starts June 1 at 6am. and ends midnight of June 30th! I'll post our numbers July 1st!

Just like last year this event is meant to encourage us all to plant more boxes this spring, so that our wonderful Rocky Mountain summertime will be filled with new boxes to find! There are no "rules" - and no limit to the amount of boxes you plant (perish that thought!) Plant as many as your heart desires, release a hitchhiker, or get out there and do some maintenance to reactivate some old boxes.

I know ... I know ... we shouldn't need an event to encourage us to plant. I just thought it would be a fun thing, and perhaps some of us (including me who has a whole seioes that should have been put up at Estes last year) might be encouraged to get carving and get out on the trails sooner and get some of their creations hidden. I admit, sometimes I need a little encouragement or a swift kick, so this is
as much to encourage myself as others. Since April was a little cold last year, we're moving it to June to keep everyone a little warmer and happier!

Whether you live in Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, or New Mexico - it doesn't matter.
Get out there and Box the Rockies!

EDIT: When you sign up, complete the "potluck" section to include the number of boxes you plan to plant in April! You can update this along the way if you dont know yet, or the number changes! It will be fun to see how many boxes this "event" stirs up! To do this, just click on "Edit Signup" and input a note!

As we get a little closer to this date, I think it would be fun to put together a gathering at the end to congratulate ourselves. Maybe even have a little hunt. I'll post details later! Happy Planting all. I cant wait to see what we manage this year. I'll get the last numbers from Autumns Folly...so that we can beat our last number!

Mar 6, 2010: Intended Plants
I changed the event from a virtual to an other so now if you all want you can go into edit your sign up and add your intended number of plants to the potluck section! Sorry I missed that until now! :). -SB

We had to change the event to virtual...since it really is a virtual. This means no potluck icon. However, we have come up with a solution on how to list how many boxes you plan to plant. Just go in to edit your sign up and put the number of boxes you intend to plant in place of how many people you're signing up. Sound good? Now get carving ;)!

Okay...if you plan to plant more than ten that won't work. I'll have to think about a solution for that one.
