Letter-Boxing


OK, RJ's face looks kind of funny in this picture, but look at the beautiful sunset. Idaho has always had great sunsets.

We decided to go Letter-Boxing. It is another type of treasure hunting, similar to geo-caching. This type of hunt you don't need a GPS. Instead you get clues off the Letter-Boxing website and follow them clue by clue until you find the treasure (letter-box). Inside the box is a log book. Your are supposed to create a personal stamp (or you can buy one. We used a Minnie-Mouse stamp. The only stamp I had around and we didn't have time to make one.) Anyway, you use your stamp to stamp the log book and there is also a stamp inside the letter-box that you can use to stamp your own personal log book. It was fun following clues instead of an arrow. And the sunset at the Park was gorgeous.










Looking for the treasure under the rock wall.












We found it! Our first Letter-Box.

















The stamp inside the letter box resembled this nearby chinesse sculpture. So we took a picture with it and one of the waterfalls in the background.

Those skies are gorgeous! I miss Idaho sometimes but, I'm finally starting to really feel at home here now, even though I'm from here. Anyway, you guys always do such fun things, I'll have to look into Letter-boxing.
