Letterboxing - Disclaimer - Blog 11 of 11

[DISCLAIMER - For 6 weeks, Glenn and I traveled and I neglected my blog posting.  
Here is an attempt to post some updates.]

We drove over 3,500 miles on our recent trip.  And one of the fun activities we enjoy doing is Letter-boxing.  It breaks up long road trip and adds a little spice into the adventure.  This trip was no exception.  We found a total of 9 letterboxes.  That's 10 if you count the one we found in Roatán on our cruise.

One such stop led us to a really cool rest area. Each of the picnic tables were in a motif representing the 1940's and 50's.  Here is an old gas station.

It was by far the coolest rest stop I have ever stopped at.  So, if you are ever on Interstate 40 heading across Missouri to St. Louis, stop at the Mile Marker 110, outside of Conway, Missouri.  Read more.

Located on the old Route 66 in Missouri, this Letterbox is at a roadside park. 

While in Springfield, Illinois, we visited the burial site of Abraham Lincoln.  It is the second most visited cemetery in the US.  Arlington Cemetery in DC is the most visited site.  Here we found another letterbox.

Many folks will rub Abe's nose for good luck.  And place penny's (Lincoln pennys) at the base.

We found our 4th letterbox on this journey outside of our hotel room in Springfield, Illinois.

David helped us find another letter box near Normal, Illinois.

David wanted to KEEP the Superman stamp when we found this letterbox outside of a Sears store in a local parking lot of a mall in Indianapolis, Indiana.  But instead, I stamped "Superman" on his arm and he was happy with that. 

After lunch with HAM radio friend, Carol and Phil, and then reconnecting with MBI college friend, Naomi, we found another letterbox out back behind a local Cracker Barrel restaurant in Kokomo, Indiana.

With Emily, we found 2 more letterboxes in Oklahoma.  One at a roadside park just before you enter into Texas and the other in a hotel parking lot in Ardmore, Oklahoma.

I have a logbook that I use to record each of our letterbox finds.  Thanks, Glenn for embarking on this letter-boxing adventure when we take road trip.
