Ollie the Osprey

Ollie is the mascot of a team in Missoula. Find the "home" of this team. Once you are there park towards the area where you would park if you paid for it during one of the games. You can see a trail, and that is where you need to start.

Walk until you see a stone with the name Mary Jean on it. This stone offers a clue of where Ollie is hiding out. From this stone take 45 paces to the left. on the right hand side of the trail you can see tresses. Find the farthest left corner pole. Now Ollie's hideout has been discovered!!

Fun Fact:
In the middle of the field, atop one of the lights, Ollie makes his home. Be sure to look for him during games- we've seen him at every game we've gone to!

Left My Heart in Texas: update

Safe and sound. I know what you mean about TX. I've left several times, only to return. Happy to say, I'm in Texas to stay.

I was a little upset about this LB. The clue was difficult, we'd been going back and forth on it for about 2 months. Then finally, in a moment of pure genius, I figured out half teh clue. Then the first part. A phone call to my mom who had computer access- we were driving- and we had an address.

The thought of asking a store clerk "do you have any monkeys on the moon" was a bit hilarious- though we were going to do it.

Only, it wasn't the store it was supposed to be.

I did enjoy the yarns and bought a book even, however- we didn't ask about monkeys, and I'm sure we'd have gotten a crazy look if we had!

**Please, please, please-- if you move out of the state, or you don't have anyone to look out for your boxes- be nice, update them when someone lets you know something is up!!! This is the 5th box form the person, and it's a bit infuriating that he just leaves them up instead of retiring them out. Or just updating it to say "missing"**

Frogi in Elk Meadows


In Lolo find the turn off for highway 12. Go West toward's the hot springs. You'll go about 10 miles to Elk Meadows. Turn left and continue about 2 miles. On the left, right before the 2 mile cut off is a turn out. Park there.
Find the "No vehicle" sign. With your back against it, take 31 steps forward. Once there, walk towards the sky till you come to a perfect "once upon a treehouse" place. Go 'round back and under rocks and bark you will find our hideout.

N was super tired- due to a sleepover the night before. We were on our way to Missoula and detoured to do 4 letterboxes on the way. He konked out HARD! We couldn't wake him- but had to on one where we had to hike about a mile. He wasn't very happy with us! Lucky for him he got another 45 minutes of sleep from Lolo Pass till we met his grandmother!!

LB is perfectly fine- and it was a great day for a drive. Some drizzle, but the snow (where we live we had a LOT of snow) was not northwest of us.
For those who have had a hard time finding this, but sign in's on the book. The turn out is exactly 1.1 miles down from the visitor center turnout.

We tried- but it was no longer there. Looks like a spot where people would come camping- certainly enough litter in the area for it to be true. So, while we attempted it- we also hid one close!! Stay tuned to those directions soon!

Winter has come...


and I think our letterboxing is done until April or May.
At least up here. My mom, Zturtle, will still be able to continue the fun. Our family will instead think of great places to plant some come snow melting season!
