Lost Griz (Texas) needs help!

*Needs a new log book. Were told 5/2/10 that it was soaking wet. We live in Montana and are not able to replace in a timely manner. If you could help us, we'd be VERY grateful!!!*

Hippity Hop Fester

We found this one in about 5 different pieces. All close to the hiding spot. Thankfully the stamp wasn't lost and we had a book we could replace the soaked one with. The old log book was a complete loss. We dried it out, cleaned it up and hid it where we think it should have been.

The Alamo 1724

This one has just been replaced, and I'm so glad it was!! We did find it, but that's not what made it exciting. We found the right place and no one was around.

We sent Nater off to get it reminding him to be all sneaky. Well, I look over and look who is walking by! He waved, and went about his business. I had to get a picture of him.



Our 1st brush with the law while letterboxing. HA!

Left a HH here also.

Sea Star That Should Have Been

Find the Hamilton Creek Park near Burnet, TX. Locate the trail that runs along and proceed to the north end where it curves and heads back around to the south. (There is another LB close, 78611, which is what we found and then hid our own!)

Find a rock to rest your feet. Find 110* and you will see a tree growing out of the side hill. Under the side walk material you will find the SS we wished we'd seen!! (The trip to the coast was postpone- and the youngest of the bunch was not too happy about it!)

Left My Heart in Texas

The "frog" in this family was born & raised as a Texas girl. My heart still resides there- even with more than 5 years away. Texas is home. After a week of being back at home, leaving seemed sad. So I decided to leave a LB at the last rest area before leaving.

Headed into Lariat, Texas (going west bound) you will go by a rest area (parking area) on the right hand side. Pull into the area and find a place to park. You will see a concrete electrical pole right away. On it's backside and under a stone you will find proof that I did indeed leave my heart in Texas.

The Griz

On our trip we brought with us a symbol from home- THE GRIZ! For those of you who have never been to Montana, THE GRIZ is our local college team, just 45 minutes north of our house, located in Missoula, Montana.

Our Griz hitched a ride and found a nice resting spot out of the heat of the day.

At Longhorn Caverns, find the trail that has a 3 minute loop. Take the right hand fork. At post #14 look ahead on the trail and you will see a rock on the right hand side with a yellow dot. Stand in front and look 160 degrees. Around a tree you will find a space for our Griz to hunker down for the winter. His very own rock cave.

We live, obviously, quite far away. Please help with any maint. that might be needed. Also, we'd love to hear about his "keepers" so be sure to post that you've found him!!

Quarter of a Letterbox

This is located at Longhorn Caverns State Park. Hanging from a tree do you see it? When you open the bag there is a small, round, quarter size coin holder with a round logbook. CUTE. Lots of boxes here, most under rocks. Spend 2 hours walking the trail and got about 10 boxes found!
