Part of a series of 8 letterboxes in Redmond’s Dry Canyon.
Here’s the story behind these letterboxes. Grandma W turned 70 years young this year and we thought we would give her an unconventional present. ‘Ya see, she lives above the Dry Canyon and really, really enjoys watching people in the canyon ….families walking….folks bike riding….people birding…..runners sweating….an occasional horseback rider…..so we thought we’d do our part in encouraging some more people into the canyon to look for some more letterboxes. These 8 letterboxes represent Grandma (and Grandpa) W.’s grandkids (who all like to letterbox too!). Amelia is the youngest grandchild (and we’re pretty sure she’s the last J). She LOVES books and “reading” even though she’s not yet two.
To get to the Dry Canyon in Redmond, take HWY 97 North and turn left onto Pershall at the flashing yellow light. Drive down into the canyon and turn left at the sign for the trail head. It will point you to the water treatment facility and to the parking lot for the canyon trail.
TO THE LETTERBOX:
Start out on the paved path, up and around
Follow the red rocks
A big round S and a triangle points the way
Straight ahead, one skinny lone juniper
Look up to the right
7 paces to
Oregon’s state flower (really more of a plant)
Look underneath
Central Oregon is a mecca for all kinds of critters. Please be VERY careful when letterboxing in this area and be sure to read the waiver of responsibility and disclaimer. Please be sure to reseal baggies and containers and re-hide boxes in their original location, completely hidden from view so that more people can share in the joy of finding them! Thanks so much!
