The Wolfe Journal: Letterboxing Tour

Kenny is spending the weekend in Denver with his parents and Kara. They are watching tons of football and other Colorado things...

So, Mira and I spent Saturday doing a Letterboxing Tour! We went through Marshall and Longview and on to Tyler before coming back.

Lots of LB's are found in parks, so that's perfect - we played a little on each playground and found letterboxes, too! Mira loved visiting all the different parks, and she loves helping me stamp in. She's a great LBing buddy! I think I might go ahead and make her her own stamp and logbook!

We were gone right at 12 hours and collected 8 new stamps! Plus, we planted a Hitchhiker in Tyler - hope to see it again one day!!

I learned that Marshall, TX has a lot of great historical sites, Longview has lots of beautiful trails to walk/bike/board, etc - very well-maintained, and Tyler has a ton of really awesome parks! There were plenty of LB's we didn't try this time, so we may have to repeat this tour and look for other LB's in these towns!

Our first LB find of the day! Not my most flattering, but I love this picture. We were so pumped after our find!

Losts of LB's are also found near Historical Markers. This one was at a beautiful old hotel in Marshall, TX.

There was also a little TXDOT museum with some old trains - Mira thought that was cool!

Having a little lunch at one of the parks in Longview. We were totally unsuccessful at both locations we had picked in Longview - BOOOO!

But, we managed to have some fun anyways!

My LB partner crashed after lunch! =)

There are also lots of LB's in cemeteries. This one was very impressive! That's a grave marker in the shape of a baby grand piano! Now, that's going out with style!

Our last stop before heading home was "The Teddy Bear" park in Tyler. It was so adorable with all it's little statues and the landscaping was just gorgeous!
