Great Letterboxing Day!!

At the summit of the Old New-Gate Prison letterboxes

What a great day Sue & I had today! Butterfly, Lobsta Lady, Rubaduc, Sadie & Russ all went letterboxing in Granby today. We figured that we hiked about 9 miles total - should help to get us in shape for Dartmoor! Butterfly and Rubaduc can hike and hike and hike!


CT's Winged Wonder, Butterfly

The New-Gate Prison box we did starts with a very steep climb but then levels off. Russ and I figured we hiked a total of 4 miles on that series and Rubaduc and Butterfly were just getting warmed up! All I could think was Butterfly and Rubaduc are going to kill me in Dartmoor.

Thanks to all for a wonderful day - and special thanks to Rubaduc for her extra supplies for the soggy, dirty boxes we found and thanks to Sue for finding a great Chinese restaurant for a great meal at the end of a wonderful day. The restaurant was called "Wok on the Wild Side!" That's a great name for a letterbox! Plus, we also got another on trail exchange with a new letterboxing family of 5 called Metro's Pack, who live nearby. Metro, by the way, is the name of their black lab, who had a pack slung over his back and was carrying the letterboxing supplies! It's always fun to meet new letterboxers on the trail.
