Letterboxing

I have started hiking here at home, in case I never get to Montana again. It really is the perfect time of year for it. I also started letterboxing,which is actually a nice little treat out on the trail .(I had to do something to spice it up,since I probably won't be seeing any bear!)

So far, I have found 2,pretty near to home. I also came across a lovely overlook,where someone made a bench out of 2 folding chairs! It's called Orchard Overlook. I have to go back with my camera.

Monday while I was out on the trail, I was startled by a group of 12 or so schoolkids on some sort of fieldtrip. I've been here a few years,and it's never happened before. They had 2 chaperones,and they were all around 9 years old. Good to see. Most of them said hello,and one proclaimed,rather loudly "Hi lady!". It was kinda funny. I think they were as surprised to see me.

It's no Glacier Park, but we even have a nice section of tall pines on trail,which I will photograph soon. It feels really good to be out there again, I was getting pretty depressed since we've been back. Silly of me,really,considering where I come from. I should be jumping for joy every single day to live in such a lovely place!
