First outing - OR: Missing boxes....Oregon webmasters, we need your help!

Today was my first try at letterboxing. I took my 2 kids and
we had a great time. I'm 99% sure we found the right location
for both Greenway Park, and Fanno Creek letterboxes, but could
not locate either box. Will try another one next week.

Greenway Park is missing, and has been for quite a while.

Fanno Creek was still there as of a month or two ago, and it's VERY
unlikely it's missing. It's wedged in pretty deep and is tough to
reach even when you know it's there, so it's understandable if you
missed it. If you go back, reach REALLY deep. As far as your arm
will stretch. It's there. =)

Good luck on other boxes! It must have been frustrating hunting your
first boxes and not finding either of them. Most of the other boxes
in the Beaverton area are still there. Several of the Tualitin Hills
Nature Park series is missing. A couple of the Rick's Farm series.
And the first few of the Rock Creek Neighborhood series have a
tendency to go missing.

In any case, most of the boxes are there--just some of the series is
missing. And just because it's there doesn't mean it's in a tricky
spot that's hard to reach or find! =)

Hope this helps!
