TALE 24 - Literature

Come to our 24th TX Annual Letterbox Event (TALE) as we celebrate literature. This can be your favorite books, characters, authors, or things found in stories. So come share your love of literature and letterboxing at this novel-worthy setting.

Date:  Saturday, 03/06/27

Time:  09:00 am - 09:00 pm

Location:  Group Hall in Lake Mineral Wells SP - Mineral Wells, TX

Directions:  From Mineral Wells, go east on US 180 for 4 miles then left on Park Road 71 to entrance of Lake Mineral Wells SP. Pay fee and get a trail map, then continue straight to a jct. Go left a short way then right into screen shelter area to Group Hall.

Details:  Sign up for this event on Atlas Quest so we have a headcount. We will begin by exchanging, stamping the event stamp, and obtaining clues. We will have a copier to print clues for boxes placed during the event. A group picture will be taken about 10 am before people leave to letterbox. There will be a potluck lunch, so bring food to share if you want to participate. We will also play TX Bingo around 06:30 pm, a game where you stamp a card with TX symbols carved by Baby Bear and hope I call them in the right order for you to win a prize. We will provide prizes, but voluntary donations and money for expenses are appreciated. FYI no pets allowed in Hall.
