Today was a very eventful day. Brittany and I decided that we would take a trip down to Odiorne State Park for something to do since it was a nice day. While walking down the trails I had to step off into the woods to pee. Like every man does when they are peeing in the woods, I was looking around when something caught my eye. Looking down I noticed something that was hidden under the brush. I then proceeded to pick it up and this is what I found:

This little thing is called a “letter box”. Basically what it is, is a weather proof tub that you put a blank page book in for people to stamp, write a little story, and then put the date and where the found it. You also can include stuff within the box such as little things around your surroundings that people would find interesting or might was to keep. In this case we found the book with someone’s story, seashells, and a cigarette butt. Not totally sure why the cigarette butt was in there, but it was still a neat find.

Britt and I plan on taking this letter box and replace the book (since it was full) with our own story and stuff in it. We collected some things around us from today that are going to be placed within the box and these are as follows: seashell, crab claw, lobster trap rope, and a picture of us. When we actually plan on hiding this box, we are going to hide it somewhere very far away from the ocean so that when someone finds it, it will be a nice little reminder and surprise. Also, what I was thinking is thy putting some of our social networks on there so that people could contact us when they find it, if they wanted too.

Overall today was really fun and entertaining. The views were lovely, even though it was a tad bit gloomy out. I was actually excited that I got out and got a couple new shots. It’s nice when I actually can get out of the house and do something for a little while and have fun with it. Id you ever get the chance, keep a lookout for our letter box! Could be somewhere you are!
