On July 22 Tyrus and I went down to Lancaster to see “The Dark Knight Rises” at the drive-in theater. That was a little over an hour away, so if we are going an hour away we might as well go letterboxing!
We hiked around Shallenberger Nature Preserve looking for some boxes. It was a LONG hike! It was a mile long hike but we had to go up a large hill! The stamps were cool but the log books were wet. The boxes were made from large spice containers. Even with duct tape covering the wholes, it is possible that’s how the water got in. Anyways, there were 7 boxes in the series but one was traped under a tree so it wasn’t available. We tried looking for the box but yes, it was definitely trapped. The 6th box was all the way up on the top of Allen’s Knob. That was a painful hike. Up this hill and down, but it was worth it. Mother Hen was really funny while we were letterboxing.
We then went to Forest Rose Cemetery and it was scary! Not because it was a cemetery or anything, but the entire place was nothing but hills. Driving up and around the hills the hills was terrifying. we found only 2 of the 5 boxes we were looking for. We spent too much time looking for these boxes because we kept going the wrong way or pass the place we should be going. When we found the hiding place of one of the boxes we found two toads rather then the box! The toads made up for the lost box.
After the (tiring) letterboxing, we went to this awesome restaurant called Fiesta Tropicana. They had amazing food! I always judge the Hispanic restaurant by their cheese. They had good cheese! I got Pollo a la Crema and it was awesome! If ever in Lancaster, Ohio I recommend this place!
Well after all the letterboxing and the tacos it was time to see Batman. Great movie! Not going to spoil anything!
