Letterboxing

This past weekend, the weather was BEAUTIFUL!!  Travis and I wanted to take advantage of it so we decided to spend the day outdoors.  As we were trying to figure out what to do, my mind was drawn back to when we first started dating.  Travis introduced me to Letterboxing.  We went several times when we were first starting to date, but we haven't been since then. 

For those of you that have never heard of it, I have heard it is like geo-cashing.  You go online and get directions to the different spots.  To find the letterbox, you follow directions that use paces as measurements and landmarks as clues.  They vary in difficulty and length.  You can find letterboxes all over the United States.  Once you find the letterbox, you stamp and sign the book that is inside to prove that you found it.  Then there is a stamp inside the box that you get to stamp into your book.  This is so you can keep track of the places you have been.  Each stamp is unique and hand carved (most of the time).  It is actually really fun and exciting to find the boxes.

This past weekend, the letterboxes that we found were at John Bryan State Park.  We loved walking on the trails and enjoying the great outdoors.  We plan on going back to the park when the ground isn't as soggy.  It is also a cute little town to go visit. 

This is the covered bridge that we ate by.  

 Of course we had to get one of Travis being daring.  I just hope he never loses his balance!
