Letterboxing

We had our first letterboxing adventure today. Manisha found directions to 3 letterboxes in the Garfield Woods conservation area. It was a wonderful Memorial Day today and the 4 of us went in the afternoon. The hike was wonderful. Even Supriya, who likes to complain about hiking, enjoyed the whole outing. We followed the clues to the first letterbox, but could not find it. Determined not to go home empty-handed, we hunted down the second one and found it. It is called Bunny Dear and the stamp has a cute bunny face. I am glad our first letterboxing was successful. The kids enjoyed looking for clues and we all got a big kick when we actually found the second letterbox.

This is a great area for hiking. There is lots to see, including the Forty Caves area on the Clinton conservation land. There are also many boulders to climb on. I am sure we will go back again and again.
