take a hike
Family, The Outdoor Woods July 28th, 2011In case you haven’t noticed, we’ve been telling stories about our letterboxing adventures for a while now. During a blazing hot afternoon on part 1 of our Tour de Utah we mustered up the desire to find concealed rubber stamps. We set out to find boxes close to where we were staying and even managed to convince Amy’s family to go with us! That’s it, you guys are officially freaks too. Ha!
We discovered on our strenuous march that letterboxing is not just a Colorado thing. There are bazillions of them all over the universe! No way!
What would an outdoor adventure be if we didn’t stop to pose for pictures and admire the scenic views? Hey Ellie, is the grass really that scenic?
Aw, just forget it. Thanks anyway Drew, but no amount of force is gonna make her smile for the camera.
Well at least somebody is a willing subject! Right next to where we found a letterbox was a creek and an artesian spring. Did I mention it was super hot that day? The shade and cool water were a lifesaver!
As fun as some of us (Ryan) think it is to find as many stamps as possible, it wouldn’t be a pleasant memory for others (the rest of us) if there wasn’t some really cool fun like this:
Don’t you want to remember your childhood by looking at pictures of your wet butt?
Drew claims that this forest is enchanted and that this is his magic wand of power. Your magic wand is peeing on you Scoobie!
Rowan says she sees diamonds in the water. Yup! Is that Daddy sneaking up behind to “help” Rowan take a dip? Daddy don’t you dare!
Hey Ellie, does this natural spring have any healing qualities? Because I noticed you were screaming earlier and now you’re not. Hallelujah!
Maybe the secret to happiness is naturally exfoliated toes…
Because now that it’s time to quit, the youngin’s are a protestin’!
Mission accomplished, smile for the camera, and enjoy the breeze…
Drew found some treasures that he could take with him from our hike. What a ladies’ man!
Grandpa bought some treasure for the rest of us to enjoy. Now that’s what I call a complete letterboxing adventure!
