Last week, Dennis and I parked 'over the hill' at Hamlin and walked over the ridge to watch the Shorecrest Band dress rehearsal. We figured that the streets would be blocked off around Shorecrest; this way we would not get cut off. Plus a nice walk and maybe we could look for a few letterboxes (we did find one on the way out). Dennis points out that Hamlin Park (located in Shoreline not far from Lake Forest Park city limits) is a great mix of forest and multi-use recreation and athletics. Sometimes though, I think the forested areas of Hamlin can be quite dark and creepy.
These chilly parents are watching some practices undoubtedly for North King County Little League. Four little league baseball/softball fields take up a large meadow area in the middle of the park surrounded on most sides by forest. A t-ball practice for over-eager little boys was underway on Hamlin Field 4, just out of view of the camera. The usual Hamlin bone-chilling breeze. The hill in the background has a path that leads up to some more fields and to the back of the middle school and high school (the Shorecrest softball field featured earlier) back onto this hill just a little to the south.

I did place my first two letterboxes today. My theme? Burke Gilman Trail - Lake Forest Park. Yup, two boxes planted. Find out about them on http://www.atlasquest.com
