This is a letterbox, there are no trade
items.
I have placed my custom stamp in it plus an ink pad but bring
your own ink just in case mine runs dry (Crayola
wash
able markers make great ink
tools if you don't have an ink pad). If you have a stamp, please
stamp the log book. If you do not have a stamp, leave a drawing
(
stick figure drawings and
happy faces would be just fine you do not have to be a
Picasso or a Da
Vinci), or a sticker or a
fingerprint or pawprint, or
try a nature print using a leaf or flower as a
nature stamp, and sign the log. Stamps are really
cheap at Michael's and similar places, try Staples for an office
stamp or
make your own with an eraser and an exacto knife.
Join the fun!
Collect letterbox stamp images: use my stamp (i.e. the letterbox's
stamp) to stamp into your personal journal/log book.
Please, don't take my stamp!

Letterboxing-style directions:
A map of the trail with the LBs marked is
available via the WTL Castor Canadensis page.
Time is based on a leisurely walk of about 4 km/hr.
20min 1.5km from the trailhead; 7min 575metres from 'Hailie'
meadow'
The dam to the right. There's currently a chain roping off the
trail to the dam. The radial trail used to be accessible by
crossing over the dam. In the last couple of years the dam has
deteriorated and now is not passable. You are halfway between
Halie's and Tabanidae.
Continue along the main trail NE direction with the water to your
right.
30min 2.1km (10 minutes 670m from the dam)
You will come to a log fence with a blue left-turn blaze on one of
the posts. The path will turn to the left and will begin to
ascend.
32 min 2.16km
65 NW steps (56m) from the turn just as the rocky slope begins to
slope up at about a 40degree incline, you'll see a big cedar next
to the trail on the right. Go around to the back of the tree. The
small LB is hanging on a lower cedar branch near the dead deciduous
tree. It's camoflagued.
Continue up the rocky slope on the main trail to the
Inukshuk letterbox, approx.
370metres. |
