Mom liked this tree.

Dad was glad it was easy.

Joe was still wondering about the missing one.

I just wanted to play with all the sticks.

MIA- looked on our way to GNP- no luck!

Grrrrr- Watch out!

We tried, half the trail was closed, so not sure we found the right big boudler- it was huge- but we think we did. We'll try again next summer and hoepfully they will have the other half opened so we can be sure if it's missing or not!

Baring Falls

Hidden in Glacier National Park-- it was still alive and well!

3 in V, MT

Found 2 of the 3 that were up on Bear Creek trailhead.

FOUND: Chaak Ti Witz & Neopets: Uni.

NOT FOUND: Neopets: Lupe

Not bad though-- we looked for almost an hour on the Lupe one. Under so many areas of rocks that our heads spun.

When we moved on the to Uni one, we were very surprised that we actually found it! Not only that, but we were the 1st finders!!! A first for us!

The clues were hard to decipher, for us, on those two. However the Chaak Ti Witz was very easy for us- hip hooray for that! :)

We had along a tagalong to our group. He even logged in via blackberry to see if there were additional clues to help us find it. However, with it getting dark we decided to head home and be glad we found 2!

Smiling Egg

This spot is located in Joshua Tree California.

This was one man's - Noah's - art garden. Was plenty to look at and all made from recycled items.

We left a letterbox here -- where else in the chicken coop! Check out roadside america for more pictures

General Patton's Museum

Picked a hot day to go letterboxing with Nolan and Bryce. This was located in California. Both had stamps of army tanks which they both loved! Bryce not to happy about climbing into the sticker bushes but Nolan just had to pick up a rock. Found a HH to bring home with us.

Fort Fizzle

When you are in Lolo, find a sign that points the way to the HOT SPRINGS. This is the direction that you need to be going. Find the Lolo National Forest Picnic Ground Historic Site: Fort Fizzle not too far up on the left hand side. Pull into the parking area and park. Go to the signs that are closest to the road and read up on this history. After you are done, find the walking trail furthest east that starts at the parking lot edge. Follow the trail till you come to the end, which is a nice creek. Even nicer is that it's a great spot to let the kids wade or cool off sore feet. Someone has made a nice little swimming hole with rock piles.

After you have cooled off, take a left where the main trail ends. Follow the trail 84-97 steps. ((We had 3 people doing steps, and 3 different numbers!!)) You will then come to an object that lays in your way- this is the 2nd such item. Turn to your left and follow this item to it's end. On the opposite side, underneath, of where you stand you'll find your own personal Fizzle.

Head back once you found it and enjoy a nice picnic!

Kim Williams Gnome Home Letterbox

We forgot our camera- DRATS! However, we did find the box. The trail was full of people, and it probably took us 30 minutes just to find, stamp and rehide it between watching, sneaking and crossing fingers. We'll have to go back for a picture next time we're up in Missoula.

It was a GREAT trail! Wide enough for walkers, dogs & bikes- and all were present.

I am going to take this moment to vent a bit as well. Online the box had only been logged a couple of times. We figured we'd find it and it'd be pretty empty. However, this was not the case. It was a fairly nice sized logbook- and it was almost FULL. Maybe 3 pages left (I did let the owner know) and lots of finders. But 99% of them never logged it in.

I'm glad that I take the time to log in each of my finds, just so that way the owners know it's okay, but also for other LB's to know that it is out there. SO many people look at dates last found, and never search for those who haven't been found in over a year. I hate to think of how many I would have missed if we'd done that as well!

Log your finds- it helps!!

Lake Como Letterboxes

Well, the day we went off in search of these 2 boxes, it was a PERFECT day for hiking! Sunny, but not too hot. Lots of people on the trail- which made for fun "look normal" moments.

We had luck with the 1st box. However the second box was a no-find. We searched for it for close to 45 minutes. Hoping it had slip, or was buried down deep. But, no such luck.


We did however figure out some great places to do our own hides- and even a series! Now to just get those images on paper & stamp and away we'll go!!!
