Great day of letterboxing

From: chomjangi (chomjangi@yahoo.com) | Date: 2004-08-09 06:49:02 UTC
Spent the weekend tracking down my third letterbox in Warrenville,
IL...a real challenge compared to my first two, involving several
hours of codebreaking to reveal the directions, then several hours
of research (including going to a library and finding a few maps) to
even find the starting location. Then it still took a good tramp
through the woods and many false starts to find the letterbox. But
it was certainly worth it! Not only did the challenge add to the fun
but the stamp was excellent as well-- a real winner, although it is
unfortunately unnamed (although that really just adds to the
mystery!)

I'll be interested once I go back to college in DC to see how it
works in a more urban setting, where there will be more stealth
required as less mud to tramp through...
