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!). McKenna is the third grandchild. She’s a born organizer and carrying on Grandma’s sewing legacy.
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:
Hmmm…decisions, decisions, while you consider heading up to Canyon Rim Park ('cause you can see the path up to it just to your left) or heading back down the canyon trail, take a seat on a flat topped boulder and rest for a moment, while you watch the cars on the bridge. Oh wait….make sure nobody is around…reach around behind you…underneath the rock (check for critters first, of course). You’ll have to be sneaky with this one…..got it?…..good. Now do your business and be just as sneaky hiding it right back where it was! Thanks!
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!
