Letterbox Carves

Carter and Rylan carved their first letterbox stamps (as well as a hitchhiker stamp which is a stamp that travels from letterbox to letterbox). 

Here's Rylan's.  He did the state of Tennessee (we wanted something simple for the first carve).  Then he did a dove for the hitchhiker.  We also made first finder cards for the first person that finds the box to keep.


Here's Carter's.  He did the state of North Carolina and a flamingo for this hitchhiker.


We decided to place both letterboxes in Crockett Park since there is only one other box there.  It's a pretty busy park so searched the edges of the park to find places that we thought the boxes would be undisturbed by non-letterboxers.  It took awhile yesterday but we finally found two spots on opposite ends of the park.

Rylan's is in the stump at the base of this tree.  Here is the clue for his.


Carter's is inside this tree with a bunch of baseballs and lacrosse balls we found in the woods here.  Here is the clue for his.


Now the boys are impatiently waiting for someone to find them and log them!
