I love letterboxing because it takes you to all kinds of crazy places in your own community that you never knew existed. Yes, it often does involve mucking around in the woods and the mud.
Dennis had the day off today. Me? I got all kinds of time right now. How about an excursion. Fine with him especially if I figure out where we're going to go. Actually, it's adaptive on his part, usually he can have suggestions but I'm going to decide anyway.
So how about some letterboxing? Haven't done that in awhile. I find several recent ones we haven't looked at. Two in Woodland Park, involving rummaging around at the base of trees right near where Aurora cuts through the park. I mean right near! The other box was in a crevice of a log between a path and a stump. Pretty standard letterboxing stuff, little used paths, logs, stumps. We found the right stump but couldn't find the right log.
Fortunately, that was right near the Woodland Park Dog Park, so we stopped in there and Teddy ran around and fetched and made acquaintance with some new dogs.
On to an interesting place right near a freeway on-ramp. How could there be a park there? Actually Rainbow Point was delightful, if noisy. Beautiful vistas, been by there a million times and never knew about it.
Letterbox easy to find in this case.
Both shots from Rainbow Point, standing in the same place. First, Dennis and Teddy looking south over I5 with downtown Seattle in background. Second looking west over the north Seattle neighborhoods and the Olympic mountains beyond. Between these is Puget Sound. Church tower included just for general interest.
