Man, I was really hopeful to find a bunch of these. Maybe my skills are off today, or a lot of them might be gone. #1 got me all scratched up and there are lots of BlackBerry vines in front of any trees in that area. Found #3, though it had a wet logbook. Found the first bat box but alas, no stamp under the tree at 4 o’clock. (#4). Found the ducky! (#5). Attempted to use the numbers to decipher the Clue for number six to no avail, and I am pretty sure I was at the right tree for #7 but again no stamp in the nook of the tree. If the owners want to check and/or re-hide or replace stamps, I will definitely come back! Everything seemed pretty overgrown, so it may have just entered my attempts!

Beautiful carves and such a lovely place to visit. I'll be back to find the rest!

This is a fun set of boxes! Couldn't find #5. The clue just didn't match any of the trees we saw. We even went back after clue 6 said we were in the spot directly across from the box. The log book for #7 is completely full. The only empty space was the back cover!

This was a great series that I enjoyed finding! Great park, though, sadly I believe that 5 grandmothers is missing. Just a tip for others finding this. #5, just ducky isn't quite half way around the lake and the end of the fallen tree has broken off in between, we had some problems finding it, and it is a very smooth tree. Box six was a little bit wet inside, if you could dry it out, that would be great! And the log book on seven is full. Overall, an amazing, beautiful park with some great boxes, quick and easy! Thank you so much for leading me to this great place!

It was a beautiful day for letterboxing. Great location and pretty scenery. We couldn't figure out the code for the Beaver Pond which was a bummer, but had a great day. Thank you.

Very fun series! My two chihuahuas had a great time helping us find the boxes.

Another reason to love letterboxing as it took us to a place I had never explored. LOTS of birds and tracking and a fun hunt.

We could. not. find. the Grandmother, we looked and dug and got poked with brambles, but we just couldn't find it.

The Bat Box needs a new book and the ducky and beaver were wet. We did our best to dry them out and seal them up as best we can. Nothing was damaged, just an FYI for you.

Thank you for a fun afternoon in a lovely spot. Cheers.
