I solve a mystery clue (no town location given) for a letterbox in Cumberland County
We drive to the location and follow the rest of the clues to find the box
Search and search
And search some more
Knowingly walk through poison ivy because it is in area we think box is hidden based on clue directions
Tell L. not to follow me while I investigate
L. follows anyway
Her and I wash our legs and shoes in nearby bathroom to avoid rash
We find box in a different patch of trees nearby
We re-read the clue directions to the box
Family votes unanimously that letterboxers write clues that are not clever so much as simply poor directions (this was our experience with other boxes we have found as well)
Kids tell parents in the car that "geocaching is more fun" even though "the letterbox stamps are cool."
Parents agree
Later try to go to letterboxing.org to log our box find
Find the letterboxing website is not operational
I pull out my GPS unit and admire it lovingly
No one breaks out with poison ivy the next day
