Hello OH Letterboxers,

We just returned to the Pacific Northwest from our whirlwind
weekend trip to the Cincinnati area and this is what we found while
there (I'll include a status of the box if there was anything
noteworthy to report):

-French Park (Amberly Village)
-HH 'Legends Live Forever' tribute to Dale Earnhardt
-Wetlands (Blue Ash)
-BARC n Howl (Blue Ash) was missing
-Winton Woods Kingfisher Trail (jackhammer stamp?)
-Who (Winton Woods) by Leader of the Pack
-Thunderbird (Winton Woods)
-Blue Willow (Winton Woods)
-Lost Fisher (Winton Woods)
-HH 'Where the Corn Grows' by Leader of the Pack--found at Lost
Fisher
-Fore! by Team Jedi (WITHOUT CLUES TO THE BOX!!!--there was a hint
within the clues to Blue Willow that there was another box in the
area so we thought like letterboxes, scouted around and found it!!!)
-Great Oaks (Winton Woods)
-Wings of Peace (Winton Woods)
-Jurassic Workout 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 8 (7 must've blown away during
the storms and could be lying anywhere in the midst of the billions
of leaves that have fallen in the area???) at Woodland Mound Park,
the logbooks are almost full on these
-Wildberrys (wow!!! is all I can say about this one!!!)
-Snowflakes (Withrow Nature Preserve)
-IScream (Mariemont)
-Dogwood Park Nature Trail (Mariemont)--didn't know there was
another LB in the area until we returned to the hotel that night so
we didn't get it
-Pigs Can't Fly
-Union Terminal, Queen City Tour
-Kentucky Crab Mystery
-Ft Wright Nature Center's Frog's Pulpit (the other one in the park,
Beat the Storm, wasn't anywhere to be found--possibly swallowed by
the tree with the hole in it?)
-Past Lives II (Stanberry Park) no luck with Past Lives III or Out
on a Limb in the same park--either it's operator head space and
timing or the boxes have been blown around in the wind or are lying
around in the woods somewhere under about 6 inches of recently
fallen leaves
-HH 'Ohio Flamingo' found at Past Lives II
-Touch & Go Mystery LB (plastic bag was torn and box slightly
crushed, but otherwise dry--I'm sorry I didn't have a spare plastic
bag with me at the time)
-Columbia Pioneers
-Pioneer Cemetery
-PezBox

We placed Groovy Bug Mystery LB today in a park in Hamilton County
and will post clues to it shortly.

All in all, an incredible sightseeing tour of the less touristy
things around Cincinnati. We definitely learned our way around the
area quite quickly and are very thankful that letterboxing is such a
popular pasttime in this area. Your stamps in this area are quite
exquisite and your letterboxes are very ingenious!!! I don't think
I've ever seen that many Mini M&M containers at a grocery store
checkout aisle as I saw around the letterboxing jaunts in Cincinnati
& boy, what you can do with film canisters, magnets, prescription
bottles, camouflage tape, etc. Wow!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!

Thanks again for the adventure through your neck of the woods. It
truly brightened our spirits during a quite stressful time. Keep up
the great work and we look forward to the opportunity to find your
letterboxes in the future!

Take care & God Bless,

Bethany
