On Sunday, June 30, Glenn and I were driving from Colorado Springs down I 25 and then westward over US 160 to Pagosa Springs. We had plenty of time and enjoyed our leisurely drive through the scenic 4 and then 2 lane hiway. Glenn was very patient with me, as I checked for Letterboxes along the way.
Click on the links to read the clues that we followed to find the hidden Letterboxes.
I have been using Letterboxing website
and Atlas Quest
to find these hidden treasures.
I have a special stamp, ink and log book to record all my FUN.
1. IRIS GARDEN is at a Rest Stop along I 25 just south of Pueblo, CO
2. GOLDEN ASPEN LEAVES is along US 160 at a very nice roadside "look-out"
3. PHANTOM UTE CHIEF is located uniquely at the community center in Fort Garland, CO
4. DOWN AT THE STATION
This letter box was the most unusual location, as it was at the train station. Clever.
and my favorite Letterbox for the Day was
6. MOVIE MANOR MARIPOSA
This letter box is located on the back side of a Drive-In Movie combined with a local hotel. The idea was a novelty.
The “World’s Only Movie Motor Inn” is located just west of Monte Vista, Colorado. While working at his drive-in theatre in the 1950s, George Kelloff dreamed up the Movie Manor – a hotel from which all of his guests could view the movie too! Each cozy room is named for a movie star and has an overhead speaker with piped in, adjustable sound for the feature screen. You can sit in big, comfy chairs or lay in bed while watching out your large picture window. If you’d prefer to watch the movie showing on the second screen, you can do so for free, but you’ll have to drive your car around to get the sound. We had a blast staying here and highly recommend it! Guests can also take advantage of the playground, pitching green, restaurant, and RV parking. Call 1 (800) 771-9468 for reservations.
