We also are new to letterboxing. We have gone hunting at a couple of
places around the BAY Area. We have recently planted The Cradle on
the Alameda Creek Trail. No one has visited it. It is a very small
box with just a crude stamp(since we are new to that art), a small
homemade notebook and pencil. We had fun at Byxbee park in Palo Alto.
We only found 1 of the boxes. IF you go there and find more let us
know. If you like camping, alpine lakes and swimming go check out the
New Hope mystery box. We read that Ruth's hybrid is still around.

Happy Hunting
