The Oregon Map now indicates that there are a total of SIX letterboxes in the
Rock Creek series!!!
I have finished my clues for The Rock Creek Dragon Letterbox and The Rock
Creek Troll Letterbox. Like all the others in this series, these letterboxes
are ideal for family outings with younger children.
As promised, these letterboxes must be located using a rubber stamped map
which I created specifically with kids in mind.
Now, if only the torrential downpour will give us a break, the Cheney family
can look for these two while I go searching for Rock Creek #2.

Ha! Great minds think alike! I was considering a troll stamp for the
bridge area (especially with the 3 "billy goats" that live up the
hill). I think the weatherman suggested things might clear this
afternoon and both the boy and the beagle need some air... looks like
the hunt is on!!

Your map of Rock Creek is great, Mitch!. Nice work in getting such
kid-friendly boxes out.

Well.... we are one for two. Brian and his friend Eli (who was ECSTATIC
about being included) and I drove over to the park with about 1 hour of
light left. We searched high & mostly low for the Rock Creek dragon
box. Unfortunately my printer cut off some of the clues from the
page.... not to be discouraged by that, we concentrated on the clues we
had... and BINGO! We barely found it!! Mitch got tricky with this
one... he used a standard Rubbermaid sandwich keeper, but then he
camoflauged it. A very neccesary thing in this heavily used park. In
the fading light it was hard to see in the dark woods. The boys stamped
their books (in all the excitement, I forgot to stamp mine!!) and
admired the dragon who guards the letterbox. Mitch carved this stamp
from 2 Pink Pearl erasers. They are mounted on a block of wood. It is
quite a large stamp & very well done.
We had a good idea where the troll box is hidden, in fact from one
vantage point you can see all 4 bridges on Mitch's map (not a very big
area). However, Rock Creek is so high that bridge #2, a small
footbridge, is mostly underwater. I hope the Troll is hidden high!!
The boys suggested that we go home and get the canoe and return. A good
idea, but with about 15 minutes of light left, not practical. Instead
we drove around to where we think the trail comes out. We ended up in
Epson's parking lot... apparently on the wrong side of the stream. We
will wait for the creek to subside before claiming victory and
vanquishing the Rock Creek Troll.
Thanks for a good search with a great stamp Mitch!!
