Congratulations on another Oregon letterbox, Mitch. Your rebus is
intriguing - and tough. I'll send you my attempt at translating
off-list.

[L-USA] Another Oregon Letterbox

Well, I finally got a chance to start hiding letterboxes again. Over
Memorial Day weekend, I managed to place the 12th letterbox in the Portland
area.
I call it Bronson Creek Letterbox, and its location is not far from the Rock
Creek series. Like the Rock Creek series, it is in very easy walking terrain
and would be a great box for an outing with the kids.
I threw in a little catch this time, however, just to make things a bit more
interesting. The clues are in the form of a rebus... and a rather difficult
one at that.
Hand stamped rebus-making is a long-neglected pastime of mine. I wish to
thank my good friends (and fellow letterboxers) Stamper Hog and Deborah for
helping to rekindle my interest in these facsinating picture puzzles.
On the Letterboxing North America website, I will soon be adding a link to
the Rock Creek Series page which will allow you to download the rebus and
print it for yourself.
Whether you make it to Portland or not, I would be interested in hearing from
anyone (off-list, please) who can figure out what the rebus says.
Enjoy!!

Hoggie,
The rebus awaits you!! Click on Oregon, and go to the "Rock Creek" series.
If you don't have Adobe Acrobat Reader, you'll have to download it first to
see the rebus.
Good luck!!

Hi to all: I just went on my first letterbox hunt. I am in Fla. and was
looking for Eric's Fla. Fish series. I had the fun of driving a 7 mile loop
thru a wildlife preserve, walking a mile trail thru the river conservatory
and finding one on the banks of the Indian River. Eric has done a great
job--they were not very hard to find--good for a newbie like me. He had set
up a table at the Orlando Stampfest and hidden 3 boxes in the hotel grounds.
The stampers talked to him a lot and seemed interested, so perhaps the hobby
of letterboxing will spread further here in Fla.--thanks to Eric. Nancy.
