Description

Please come and join The Grateful Letterboxers for another week of "adventures and fun" in 2019 at our 13th annual event! The theme this year will be "U.S.Blues!". Trackers and more details will be posted soon. Once again we plan to take over a large portion of Camp Lorraine, located at the heart of Harold Parker State Forest in Andover MA. Stay for a whole week and attempt to get every letterbox in town, or just come for a long weekend of fun! The campsites are all very nice and about $20 per night for up to 4 people or one family. Campsites can be reserved 6 months in advance, so we'll remind everyone in January. We plan to have campfire socials, hot dog roasts, s'more toasts, night boxing and other assorted Grateful fun! There will be boxes at all GLb campsites and a few more new creations out on the trails. On Saturday the 13th we will be gathering on Grateful Row for a "BYO Picnic Lunch and Stamp Exchange" - typically starting at 1 with door prize drawing at 2! Stay tuned for more details, but clear your calendars now and save these dates!!!

Apr 7, 2019: Grateful Camping Address List
Hello Grateful Campers ~

WHOOPS! Looks like I messed up and listed a bunch of people and where they stayed last year. Doh! Sorry about that! It should be accurate now. Please let me know if you are listed in a site you are not going to be resting in or if you are not listed. The warmer temps are starting to clear out the winter cobwebs from my brain, so hopefully I won't make that mistake again. (Although, there might be other mistakes along the way. 😉)

Can't wait to see you all in just three short months!

~zess~

Jul 6, 2019: Clues are posted!
Please check these out BEFORE you head up to Andover. Watch the video and print up the clues! We can provide copies for those who are already on their way. Let us know if you have any questions!

Jul 7, 2019: Clues for our early arrivals!
I dropped off 5 clue sets to share this evening with Dawn (Sits n Knits) at campsite #210. Look her up if you're one of the early arrivals who didn't get a chance to print up your own clues before hitting the road. Contact us if anything addition is needed!

Saturday Jul 13, 2019: BYO Picnic and Door Prizes!!!
Every year we have a group BYO picnic on Saturday followed by a FREE door prize giveaway! PLEASE bring donations - nothing is too small!!! Everyone present will receive a ticket. In previous years, people were so generous that EVERYONE received a prize! We'd like to continue that tradition so bring what you can and drop it off at the event table on Grateful Row (at #305). The picnic will start at 1 PM, followed by door prizes at 2. Bring your lunch and a chair to Grateful Row and join in on the party!
