Our first attempt at Letterboxing

Well, I said I would give you an update on letterboxing. Saturday afternoon we decided to try our hand at it. We went to Lake Thunderbird for our first excursion. We were doing really good until we couldn't find our first box. We looked and looked in all of the places the clues said, but couldn't find the thing! So we went on to the next box, on the other side of the lake. The road we needed to take was under construction! After that, we realized the last box was in a construction zone too. We were tired and had enough. But we did bring home something--ticks! They were on our clothes and on us. Luckily none were attached, so we were safe, but we did have the heebie-jeebies for a few hours afterward! The girls were quite frightened by having bugs on them.

As for letterboxing, it was a very cool idea and we enjoyed looking for them, but if the rest of the boxes are in that wooded of an area, we might have to re-think this hobby. I don't want to put the girls in danger from bug bites. There is a series in Moore and we'll see how that one is. Kinda disappointing...
