The Passport To Letterboxing Stamp Camp is less that a week away and
I am very excited! This event promises to be spectacular! Just a few
reminders:
If you are coming up for the day on Saturday, the park opens at
6:30am and you can check in at the check-in table located at
campsite
#14 anytime between 6:30am and 9:30 am to make it in time for the
first workshop at 10:00am.
Please bring your own food for the day since this will not be a
potluck event.
There is a $5.00 day use fee and you will need to park in the
parking
lot just past the entrance and walk to campsite #14. It is not far
at
all.
There will be raffles throughout the day for some awesome
letterboxing items and tickets will cost $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00.
The kid's raffle tickets are free.
There will also be on hand starter kits with all the items you will
need to make a letterbox including a carving tool for the stamp
carving workshop that you can purchase for $5.00 each.
Donations will be graciously accepted to help offset the cost of the
event.
There will be red signs with red, blue and green balloons that will
direct you to the park from the I-5 freeway. Please watch for them
and take note of the directions from the post below since there is
construction in the area.
Please, and very important, RSVP to tinarie at msn dot com if you
plan on attending so that we may have enough supplies for everyone.
This will definitely be an event that will not want to miss. Hope to
see you there!

Wouldn't you know it. There is construction going on in the area of
the directions to Battle Ground Lake found on the link so I will
give
you the path you need to travel to get to the Passport To
Letterboxing Stamp Camp at Battle Ground Lake. Please take note of
this message before you head out to the gathering.

I-5 freeway, off at exit 9/179th St.,
if you are coming from the north, pass under the freeway and make a
left on NE 10th Ave./SR 502.
if you are coming from the south, go straight through the light at
the end of the off ramp onto NE 10th Ave./SR 502.
Travel 2 miles to NE 219th St/SR 502 and turn right, travel approx.
10 miles (NE 219th will turn into Main St. when you get into Battle
Ground) and turn left on Grace Ave., right at NE 229th St./Weisson
Rd., right onto Palmer Rd. to Battle Ground Lake State Park and turn
left into the park.
There will be red signs with red, blue and green balloons
directing
you from the freeway to the park so keep an eye out for them. See
you
there!
