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!

Inukshuk
Approximately 400 meters, 6 minutes from Tabanidae chrysops you
will come to a do-it-yourself Inukshuk lookout. A clear area with
plenty of rocks on the downhill slope. You'll enjoy a view of a
shallow valley and forest - quite nice in the Fall. The trail
community occassionally construct an Inukshuk or 2 on this spot. If
you bring a camera with you it would be great if you could post the
latest Inukshuk on this page. You might even want to build your
own.
The letterbox is 16 paces 210degrees SSW from the lookout point.
Walk along a row of trees between the valley on your left and the
trail on your right. The LB is to your left toward the valley on
the edge before the descent beside a decidous tree and under a log.
Small lock n lock.
FYI: There's a short 1 minute 40degree incline on the way to
Inukshuk. After the Inukshuk cache the terrain gentle slopes up for
another 100m or so and then it gently slopes down the rest of the
way back to the trailhead.
