We took a little detour in, on and around Lake Washington today
(Seattle, WA area) and found several neat little boxes:
Heart of Lake Washington: What a neat little park on beautiful
Mercer Island! Drum Roll...I can't believe that we were the first
ones to visit this box. That was exciting!!! This, most likely,
will be a first and a last for us being first so we won't really be
able to say this again!!! It was sticking out a bit from its hiding
place so we ensured it was not visible at all when we were finished
with it. We'll definitely be back to Mercer Island in the future.
Also have a couple ideas for other neat little hiding spots on the
island.
Kelsey Creek Park boxes: What an absolute treasure so close to the
big city. I had been in the area MANY, MANY times before and never
even knew a park existed there! Thanks for the nice detour! Box #2
was totally visible to the world--I can't believe it was still there
as there have been daycamps there at the park for weeks--2 groups of
kids passed us on the trail during our hunt. We ensured that it was
well hidden after the fact--I've started to hide the letterboxes
with 'bright colored' lids upside down so the clear part of the
boxes may be less likely to attract attention in the event
their 'cover & concealment' is removed. Boxes #1 and #3 were in
good shape. We really liked all of the stamps and the different
colors of ink you provided in the boxes. YOU SHOULD PAT YOURSELVES
ON THE BACKS FOR A JOB WELL DONE!!! The clues to #3 are a bit
confusing, though, (we noticed other letterboxers in the log had
similar problems & that there were several who had found #1 & #2 who
never found #3)--perhaps adding a line in the clues about not
counting the boardwalks until after you pass the
boardwalk/stair/boardwalk structure after the 'Y' might help reduce
the confusion?
Again, thanks so much for a neat little relaxing detour in our
hectic lives. We really enjoyed our visit today and look forward to
seeking out more of your adventures in the future!!!
