We decided to do a little letterboxing today. We started out at the Greenwood Cemetery, in Decatur. Some of the literature we read called this "one of the most haunted sites in the midwest." I actually thought it was very peaceful and we had no unusual visitors. It was quite a large cemetery. Our first quest was "Frankie Unibrow." After finding a Celtic Cross we were on the trail.
There was a second box hidden here, "It's a Munster." Once we got back into the groove, the clues were easier to follow.
Our third attempt was in Fairview Park, also in Decatur. It was starting to rain but we are tough and didn't let that stop us. I wasn't too hopeful for this one because it hadn't been found for some time. The clue sites let you know the last date someone found a box, but we thought we would give it a try anyway.
"Who's That Stomping Over My Bridge" was nowhere to be found, but it had a great sign.
Our next quest was in the Fairview Cemetary. We are still in Decatur. This was a clever group of three boxes called "Macon Breakfast." Macon County style.
The object of letterboxing is to collect stamps in a journal and leave your stamp it the boxes journal. These stamps are usually hand-carved. This was a really cute egg and bacon in a skillet.
Bruce carved our stamp to look like our RV. One of our goals is to leave this stamp all over the country.
We finished up the day looking for a few quicky roadside attractions.
