After half a year of lurking and collecting other people's letterboxes,
we have finally placed our first one!
The First Annual Thanksgiving Letterbox is located at Priest Point Park
in Olympia, Washington on Easy Bay Drive, just two miles north from
downtown. This park got its name because it was the site of a Catholic
mission that was opened in 1848. The Mission closed in 1860, and the
city bought the property in 1906.
Here are the clues:
Upon entering the park, stop and smell the roses.

One slight correction to these clues. Priest Point Park is located on
East Bay Drive, not Easy Bay Drive. I guess that would be a different
place entirely!
