Ohio Metroparks is a specific set of natural areas in central Ohio.
The affected parks include Battelle Darby Creek, Blacklick Woods,
Blendon Woods, Clear Creek, Chestnut Ridge, Glacier Ridge, Heritage
Trail, Highbanks, Inniswood, Pickerington Ponds, Prairie Oaks, Sharon
Woods (the one in northern Franklin County, not the one in
Cincinnati), Slate Run, and Three Creeks. The policy only mentions
geocaching -- but it's a reasonable guess that the rangers will
neither know nor appreciate the differences between geocaching and
letterboxing. Hope this helps.
Take care,
Fly

This policy would explain why I found only scattered rocks where a box
should have been (Georgesville). I considered that since it was my
first box hunt that I had bungled the job. On a positive note, I found
a couple at Deer Creek before the Sunset.

I met a co-worker on the trail whom I told about letterboxing and a
retired co-worker also on the same trail (H2O Dragon). Imagine
running into folks you know out in the woods, generally such things
happen only in shopping malls.

While I've known about Geo for some time, I just read about
letterboxing in Ann Fazzini's article in my Electric Co-op magazine,
"Country Living".
