Southwest Washington – Letterboxing



We drove back to the coast – to the southwest corner of Washington. 

Today’s agenda was letterboxing.  In case you don’t already know, letterboxes are hidden boxes containing a logbook and stamp found by following a set of clues.  Barbara enjoys letterboxing and this area has quite a few.  We could probably spend a week here just letterboxing, but in the interest of time Barbara chose to target a few highly recommended boxes.

It is hard to express how much Barbara appreciated the first series – the quality and creativity of the clue, box, hiding spot, and logbook were phenomenal.   Two special additional treats: meeting the planter of the letterbox and encouragement from Judy, the marvelous woman Barbara letterboxed with a month ago.

After lunch Bill and Barbara headed for another letterbox.  Barbara ended up needing to rest in the car.  When Bill arrived back at the car, what did he have, but the letterbox.  Another beautifully crafted box! 

Here are a few pictures from the rest of the day as we explored the Long Beach peninsula.
