December 19, 2008 - Currently the boxes that were listed as "abandoned" under WD'A have been placed under me. Capperpillar and I have pulled some of the abandoned boxes (that were still alive) and are hoping that WD'A will come to the Gathering in January so we can help her update and re-plant her boxes. Until that time we cannot guarantee that any of her boxes are currently alive and/or what condition they are in. More details to come.

Turn East onto Warm Springs Av as if going Barber Park
Continue on past Warm Springs Golf course 1.3 miles (.3 miles past blinking light)
Turn left onto Barber Dr (there is no street sign but there is a large Welcome sign on the right side of the Hwy opp. the road). Park on the right at the speed sign.
56 paces on the right side of the road, cross @ 330o, 4 paces NE 3 steps @ 45o.
The Traditions “Apple Blossom” letterbox is under a Large rock
Apple Blossom
The Elizabethans believed its sweet perfumes work immediately upon the spirits… cheering and refreshing the heart. Instead of cut-forced blossoms consider an April trip to the Orchard. Warmed by the sun, the flowers early-morning hint of perfume intensifies and soon speeds far and wide. An apple tree is a present that will last for decades. Standard and scented crabapples are divine. Some are small enough to thrive in containers on a balcony or patio.
“Malus Baccata ” and “ Dalgo ” tolerate shade and cold winters. “ Malus Floribunda” is a Japanese flowering crabapple with a deep pink to red bud fading to white as they open. For disease resistance choose “ Malus Hupenhensis “.
On up the road from the letterbox is Barber Hill Nursery; it is open seasonally from February through November. They have a wonderful selection of Apple trees including the patio varieties. Further on up Barber Dr is the Showa Koi fish farm open Wed-Sun 10a-7p closed Mon&Tue
