My wife and I went letterbox hunting today, in Devil's Hopyard State
Park in Connecticut. We found them both, one of them fairly easily,
the other one took a while. The second of the boxes took us about
three hours to find, because we spent about a half hour trying to
find the hiding place, only to realize that two people were sitting
on top of the hiding place, smoking two smelly cigars. We waited
them out, not wanting to reveal the location of the letterbox, and
after nearly an hour, they finally left.

But it was gratifying to get those first few letterboxes under our
belt! All in all, we were in the park for about five hours. And are
we ever exhausted!

It looks like I'm hooked. My wife will only come with me once in a
while, since I'm the hiker type, and she's not. But it was nice to
share these first few with someone. Any other first-timers this
weekend?
