My family and I are leaving for Spring Break in a week, are there any easy
boxes along I-5? We are leaving from Vancouver, WA towards San Francisco
and them on to Disneyland. I will not have time for hours of boxing and my
husband has never got to experience the love of Letterboxing yet. Since
time will be short I was hoping for a few quick finds along the way. Any
help would be greatly appreciated. Willow.

There are a handful of short boxes around the Grants Pass, OR area--
although some require some extended 'off interstate' driving (like 8
miles off I-5 to reach the trail head sort of thing).
Others you might try, include:
B*utte Valley Airport
Pax
Tip of Shasta
Source of the Sacramento (not sure about snow condition for this one
at the moment)
H*edge Creek Falls
Shasta Shade
Craggy Castle
P*ackers Bay
Dammed Shasta
Queen City Shasta
FunHog Lake Plateau
I*de Adobe
Wild Goose
8 of these are ones that we placed and are fairly quick, drive bys
in a sense (at least, that's the reputation we've got for them)--
some include up to 1-1/2 mile jaunts. Some of the others on this
list we haven't yet found--just know they're fairly close to I-5
along your planned route--so I can't vouch for how long they'll take
to find. There are a bunch more down near the Sacramento area but
I'm not sure which route you're taking to Anaheim from that point--
some folks like to cut over West toward San Francisco to avoid
Sacramento/Davis area traffic, others even continue further West
toward the City by the Bay because they LOVE Bay Area traffic,
too. ;) It all depends what your personal traffic tolerance
quotient is the day of your adventure. Further South, beyond the
Monterey area, I've got no clue as we haven't been down there since
we started letterboxing a couple of years ago.
Another great box along the way is the Shakespeare LB Series in
Ashland, OR--although it isn't necessarily considered a drive by--
it's just a great letterbox with awesome clues! Of course, there's
always the infamous & sadistic Ryan's LB at the Applegate Rest Area
somewhere around the Grants Pass, OR area. ;) However, don't get
too upset if it takes you 2, 3, 4 or even 50 different attempts
before you find it. You wouldn't be its first victim.
Enjoy your trip!!! Nothing like hanging out with Mickey during
Spring Break!
