More Letterboxing Fun

Thanks to the beautiful weather I was able to go letterboxing two days in a row! Day before yesterday Mom and I went to Turner Lake Park to hide a couple of my letterboxes.In my opinion, Turner Lake Park is the hidden jewel of Covington! We found two perfect spots for my letterboxes! Turner Lake Park is now the home of Robin Hood and his companion, Little John. Yesterday Mom and I went letterboxing at Stone Mountain Park. Happily, Stephanie (my sister) and her children Zhenya (16), Katya (13), Anya (12), Kristina (11), Faith (8), and Caleb (4) were able to join us! We had a blast! We started the day off by searching for a 'box near the grist mill, which was unfortunately missing. After spending some time exploring and taking pictures at the grist mill and the surrounding area we headed over to the plantation area. Everyone, even Caleb, enjoyed looking at all of the old buildings. The best part of the plantation was probably the barnyard petting zoo. After we finished our tour of the plantation we headed over to the nature garden for lunch. Once finished with lunch we hit the nature trail and began our quest for letterboxes. Thankfully, we found two boxes on the trail! Both of which were adorable carves in beautiful locations! The nature garden and trail is such a wonderful place even in the winter. Once we had hung out at the nature garden for a while we decided to head over to the song bird habitat and trail. We didn't do any letterboxing here, but we did really enjoy walking around and looking at nature. I really had an awesome time with Zhenya! I think she really enjoys letterboxing and I hope she'll carve a stamp soon! As soon as we were finished basking in the solitude of nature we went to our final letterboxing destination. We looked for and found the 'box that we wanted to find at the sports pavilion. It was awesome! What a wonderful finish to our letterboxing excursion!
