Our first stop was at Liberty Park which is where the dog park is that we used to take Charlotte to when we lived in the apartment. It's only a few minutes from our house.
The clue for "Hacking It Up" said the box was at the base of the only cedar tree. Unfortunately that tree had been removed - only branches and bark remained. Luckily though we found the letterbox after a little searching sitting out in the open at the base of another tree.
Next we went over to Aspen Grove Park.
We searched for a bunch of letterboxes here a few weeks ago and didn't find any of them because they'd all been taken. However this one was launched only 2 days earlier so we were pretty sure it would still be there. And Carter was excited because this letterbox was for Halloween!
Do you see the letterbox hidden beneath these leaves?
Carter got to open this letterbox.
There was a very neat haunted house stamp in this letterbox!
As well as a hitchhiker! I was so happy to finally be placing the one we got back in Burlington, NC a couple of months ago in this letterbox and now I got another one I need to place.
Our third stop of the day was on the Ruby Lynch Trail.
The letterbox was hidden in this rock wall ...
behind these rocks.

Here is what was in the letterbox.
Included in this letterbox was a stowaway (another stamp that stays with the letterbox).
I was going to place the hitchhiker in this letterbox since there was room for it but I think it may have started in this letterbox recently. Hopefully the boys and I will get out soon to place it!
We walked the trail for a bit and then took Carter to speech.
We had lots of fun showing grandma how we do letterboxing! (I know, we are dorks. :) )
