Continued from GEST 5: Entrapment (GCR6QG)

As I continue along I wonder if I will ever find my way out of here. I come across a swamp with several platforms winding its way along and as I step on the platform, I feel it teeter to one side. Every step I take is a careful one, so as not to fall in, as I don’t know and certainly don’t want to find out what is lurking in the swamp beneath me. I just want to make it out of here as fast as possible and that is exactly what I do. I manage to reach and area where I am now feeling completely safe and secure, without any sensations of anyone else close to me. This time I am alone and am glad to be that way. Sometimes loneliness can be a blessing.

I think I am home free now and certainly will find my way to civilization once again. But that doesn’t last, as soon after I am feeling a strange pulling to my right and am pulled off the path of safety. Although I know I should not go this way, I feel that I must. I start to see something familiar in the distance. Could it be? Yes it is the spot where I abandoned the car and started my journey. But how could it be that I wind up in this spot again, as I have walked miles and miles for hours on end and here I am. I walk a bit further and what do I see? Yes, someone seems to have been by in my absence and has provided help with the car. I hop in and try the key. It starts! As I drive off I look in my mirror and I can not believe what I see.

Additional Information about this series:
--Each Letterbox contains a stamp and log/stamp book. You can use a marker to colour the stamp or bring your own ink pad. Stamp the log book with your personal stamp. Stamp your personal stampbook with the stamp from the Letterbox. Bring your own writing instrument if you want to write any additional information in the log. DO NOT take the stamp.
--As always, hint is very specific, so only decrypt it if you are having trouble finding the Letterbox.
--Please make sure the container is COMPLETELY hidden when replacing it.
--I recommend reading these pages and doing the series in order.

Enjoy your Journey!
