Yesterday we spent the day letterboxing near Mt. Shasta, California. For those of you that have never heard of letterboxing (it's similar to geocaching), you should check it out. Its a treasure hunting type activity. You get the clues for boxes hidden in your area online at the letterboxing sites. Then you set out with a stamp, ink pad, and a journal to find the letterboxes. Each person has their own stamp, its like your own signature. Once you find the letterbox, you use the stamp inside the letterbox (usually a plastic container with a logbook and stamp), you stamp your book with their stamp. Then you stamp their logbook with your stamp. I am not good at explanations so I hope that made sense. Its a fun family activity.
We were near Weed, CA and stopped to take some photos of Mt. Shasta at the Weed rest stop. It was very cloudy, so most of the volcano was covered. Maybe next time we will get some good photos. Weed is a little city set in the Cascade Mountains with Mt. Shasta just outside the city.
