This blog is where folks who live in the middle of the middle of the MidWest can who enjoy letterboxing can exchange news and views. You are free to read, but if want to author send an e-mail to Clyde Bentley at clyde.bentley@gmail.com for access.

Speaking of Re-hideation
One of the Asian ponds at Shelter Gardens has a stone pagoda in it, and while there this past Monday, I noticed what looked like a Ziploc bag stuffed inside the pagoda. As I got closer, I was pretty sure it was a letterbox, and I was excited but a little concerned about the openness of the hiding place. Imagine my surprise when I pulled it out and discovered it was the letterbox I planted in another part of the Gardens some time ago! I brought it home to do some repair work and figure out how it got transplanted. The last few entries in the logbook are hand-written and unsigned...perhaps someone unfamiliar with LBing discovered it and misinterpreted my instructions to "re-hide it well" to mean hiding it somewhere else. It was fortunate that I found it in the pagoda before it went missing...and I've changed my instructions to read "please place the box back in its hiding place."
