Think Spring (Montana)


Think Spring seemed appropriate as we want to LB and there is snow on the ground! We took this to our favorite hiking trail. After sliding around, we turned back and hid it in an area where it was easier to get to! No slipping and sliding! (At least till the snow levels get higher!)

Find Bear Creek trail head. When you park your car, find the place you want to visit before you head out on the trail. Look towards 230 degrees. You will see a tall pine. Go to it. From the back of the pine go 10 steps at 217 degrees. Think Spring is under a rock- ready to come out!!!

Please be sure to reseal bag carefully. The snow can leak into the box & baggies if they aren't sealed good!!

Birthday Wishes: Janet

Find the Demmons fishing access. Look for the regulation sign. From here you can see a gorgeous view of the river and sometimes herds of deer, Bruce & his family, and even an occassional elk. The day that we placed this it looked like Bruce & his family had just been there. Fresh moose tracks everywhere!!


From the regulation sign look towards 208 degrees. Go 17 steps, but be careful- you'll be close to an edge! See the tree? Crawl to the base, and hanging off the ground, on the back side of the tree, you will find Janet's birthday wish. You will end up close to nature- not advised to do if it's been raining!! However, even in the snow, the LB should be accessible since it's hanging about a foot or so up from the ground.

My mom wanted to go letterboxing for her birthday. So even though the weather wasn't the best and Joe's driving scares her, we tried this one box. (The other the road was too bad.) We didn't find it, but we did come across 2 people, a dad and his son, who were looking for a geocache. We swapped information & it was fun talking to them. Mom said if we ever came across anyone else doing it, we'd make sure to talk to them- not just go somewhere else for a little bit.

Anyhow, we didn't have any luck. Not sure exactly what pile of rocks, but if it was too low the water could have carried it away.
