I decided it was time we finally started contributing to the letterboxing community and plant some of our own.
First I needed to carve a stamp. I'm not terribly creative so I decided we'd do a series that includes all the ACC teams. First up, NC State, of course.
This was my first attempt at carving a stamp and it turned out pretty good! Also included in a letterbox is a logbook for others to stamp with their personal stamp when they find the letterbox.
I also made us a new personal stamp. I had been using a store bought stamp until now and we named ourselves "Pair of Monkeys", since when we started letterboxing, we just had Carter and Rylan. Now we are "3 Little Birds". I think our stamp turned out pretty good too!
Grayson is starting to feel better but still is no where near 100% and it was only in the 30s today. So during this afternoon nap, Brian stayed home with him and watched football while I took Carter and Rylan to Smith Park to plant the letterbox.
The boys helped me record clues along the trail and helped me find a good spot to hide the letterbox. We finally found a good spot near the end of the Red Trail (about 0.7 miles from the parking lot).
We filled the middle of this multi-trunked tree with rocks and set the letterbox on top of the rocks. We also placed a rock on top of it to camouflage it.
The boys are excited to see if anyone finds it!
I typed up the clue tonight and posted it on Atlas Quest. Here's the link to our first letterbox!

I've already done a few more carves and we hope to plant more soon!
