Black Rock State Park and Letterboxing

Last Friday we went with some friends to Black Rock State park for some swimming, fishing, and letterboxing. We had a great time. After we swam in the lake we split up into groups. The "men" and Natalie went fishing, while the "women" went letterboxing. I had never done letterboxing before so Kaitlyn and I were just along for the ride. And what a bumpy ride it was...

Searching for the first box. We couldn't find it

It was a very difficult hike and a very exhausting day, but we had lots of fun. The girls are very interested in doing letterboxing now too. I just hope that we can find ones that aren't so physically demanding. We had a very nice day with friends though.
