HEY y-nought!!!! I've visited a few of your letterboxes while I was in
Colorado in March! We really wanted to do the boxes on Animas Overlook
but the park was closed (any idea on when It'll be open?). Also we
LOVED campus In the sky! There I was with my friend and our 4 kids. 2
of which had to be carried cuz they're so young. We'd have loved to
have the amount of oxygen that is provided at the 4000 ft level! That
box took us clear across the campus, dragging our kids, all of us
wishing we had an oxygen tank! Then just when we thought we were done,
(1 parent was gonna go get the car while the other parent waited with
the kids) there was a reason (can you say bonus box!) for us to walk all
the way back to our starting point.and then some! Boy, we were
exhausted! But it was a blast! Can't wait to do the animas overlook.or
Three Keys, my only problem is figuring out the "code" That one
confused the heck out of me!

Thanks y-nought for a great vacation letterbox hunt, can't wait to get
there next year and visit some other ones.

Four Thousand Feet!
I don't think I have any letterboxes that low. Some of the hikes
around here START at 10,000 feet. My highest letterbox is at 13,800
feet above sea level and it's maybe the third highest in the state.

If I wanted to place one at the 4000 foot elevation where I live I
would need to dig a hole a half mile deep!

y-nought, with the scrubby trees in Colorado.

Thank you. You are very kind. I'm going to try to make it up to Animas
Overlook this weekend. This was a big snow year for us and the road has
been closed for longer than usual.

And I hope to have a few new boxes for you when you come back.
