Brookside Nature Ctr., Wheaton Reg. Park: 'boxing approved!

Yesterday I dropped in on a workshop hosted by Lynette, the park naturalist. She presented letterboxing to 4 families with young children. Handouts included copies of the Smithsonian article, the 2002 Washington Post article and clues to nearby letterboxes. The kids made "stamps" with foam cutouts and decorated little logbooks. I was asked to share my logbook and answer questions. Then they all went out to find the one remaining letterbox in the park.

Lynette and the on-duty ranger were very enthusiastic about the hobby and encouraged the placement of more letterboxes in the park, no advance permission required.

Oh...and I gave a huge plug for Atlas Quest!

Wow, we almost went just for that reason! Now do you think that would apply to meadowside and locust grove and croyden creek since she tends to work those places too. That opens up like ALL of the greenland around. Do you think we should tell them when we place one there just to be polite?
