Skagit Watershed Letterbox Trail
Posted 06/02/10, by Skagit PUD | 0 Comment(s)
Area environmental/conservation groups and local organizations have designed and hidden 16 “Letterboxes” all up and down the beautiful Skagit Watershed—from the North Cascades National Park in the east to Washington Park in the west.
The boxes are sturdy plastic tubs with distinctive labels on top. Each box contains educational materials about the location where it is hidden. A box also contains a notebook and an ink-stamp with ink-pad or some unique stickers. A box might also have additional ideas for learning about an activity in the area.
A list of clues for finding the boxes is available at public libraries, other locations, and on-line.
Letterbox searchers
Carry your own notebook and stamp or unique stickers. Upon finding a box, enter your stamp or sticker, along with a note, in the box notebook. Also enter the box sticker or stamp in your notebook. Find them all!
Be discreet upon finding a box, don’t call attention to your success or activity! When finished “stamping up” replace the box and move away to discuss your find.
