Welcome to the fold! Yes, I have noticed that clues should be followed to
the letter at times.

"The game is afoot!"

Hi!
My daughter and I found our first letterbox on a gorgeous Indian
Summer day yesterday. We saw the Hartford Courant article and have
just been waiting for our first opportunity. My daughter, who is 9,
was very excited about carving a stamp, and we did that right away.
We chose the "Gryffindor Tower" letterbox to be sure to keep her
interest since she is somewhat new to hiking. Even though the hike
was a little tougher than we originally envisioned, we were
definitely rewarded. Hello to the letterboxers we met on the trail
on the way down! Hope you found the letterbox okay!!

Ski-Shell and her mom,
Found: One, but definitely not the last!
