In the beginning.....

This picture was taken while hiking Red Hill Mountain 2033 ft. to the top on January 29th, 2006, searching for The Red Hill Firetower Letterbox.

So lets see. My first entree and I haven't the slightest what to write! I tried to post all my finds, but for some reason or another, it wouldn't allow me to post them all. I have them all typed out on my microsoft word program, so I tried to copy and paste. Didn't work. I thought about posting several times , but felt that was to much work. So what I will do is tell you about my first 9 months of letterboxing.

I found letterboxing one day while watching the news. It came on and sounded right up my alley. Sarah and I plan on getting married in October, and when I came to find her on day, I was to find out she had 2 sons from a prior. Letterboxing sounded like a sure way to bond with them. So on August 15th of 2005, Billy and Elijah set out to find Howard's Clock. It was located in Dowtown Concord. We searched and searched but were unable to find it. We decided that there were 2 other boxes in Concord that we can look for before heading back home. We traveled a bit to the Conservation Center, in East Concord. There is where we found our first box. The boys didn't quite understand at first what is was we were doing, but they caught on real quick, next heading to St. Paul's Cemetary also in Concord. This box was some hard. I kinda cheated finding this box. I won't say what I did, so not to give the location.
