This is our daughter's (Super Girl) first hand-carved stamp. There is a hint of what it is in the next paragraph.

Crystal Beach is the largest town on the Bolivar Peninsula. It has miles of clean, drive-on beaches. It is a great place for families, bird enthusiasts and fishermen. There's plenty of things to see and do in the area. This includes things like splashing around at water parks or visiting the historic Old Fort Travis. Crystal Beach also hosts a large CRAB Festival every year on Mother's Day weekend. This is a very special place to our family with many summers spent here, and counting.

Directions:

Take a ferry ride over from Galveston. From the ferry landing you will be on Hwy 87. Go straight (east) about 10(?) miles. Take a right on Noble Carl Rd. (There is a large go-cart/water slide park on the same road right before the playground/community center.) Then turn immediately left in to the Joe Faggard Community Center parking lot. Park near the playground. (The playground can be seen from Hwy 87)

Clues:

With your back to Hwy 87, there is a concrete pathway to the left of the playground. This pathway lends to a small bridge. Start down the pathway but stop at the first park bench to your left (before the bridge). Face the bench. You should see a clearing lined with Oleander bushes. Go to the Oleander bush closest to you (on your left). It is on the outside corner of a fence. The LB is in the center of this Oleander bush. Poke a round the bush with a stick to get rid of any critters visiting the bush. Happy Hunting!
