Update: Mount Rose Summit Series

     Our first yet latest letterboxes have been placed! to find all four, you have to have a whole free day, without work or school or anything interfering with it. Here are the clues to finding them from letterboxing.org:


     First Box: Start hiking up the Mount Rose Summit Trail. When you get your first spectacular view of Lake Tahoe over the mountains, look right for a smallish pile of large boulders dotted by black moss to the right of the trail. When you locate the pile of boulders walk up to them and there is a cave with a hollow on the right of the front face of the boulders. Reach in to the left and pull out what you are seeking.

      Second Box: As you continue up the trail, you will pass a quadruple tree in the middle of the trail. Continue on. You will pass two elbow trees that jut out onto the trail at a right angle. In a little way, you will see two colossal twin giant trees. On the backside of the trees, you will find what you are seeking between the twins and beneath their heart.

      Third Box: Continue your hike to the waterfall and take a left on the Tahoe Rim Trail. At the first trail marker posted on a tree, look right to see a dead stump. Hike up past the stump, and directly ahead you will see a clump of trees. This prize is located at the base of the trees to the right. After you find the stamp, continue up the Mount Rose Summit Trail.

      Fourth Box: Summit Mount Rose. After enjoying your well-deserved rest at the first peak, hike toward the second peak. Before you get there, look right to see a group of boulders sitting near the cliff edge. You have just enough room to sneak around the group of boulders and grab the prize. Look carefully, for there is an ammo box that may fool you. It is a geocache, not the letterbox.


     See why you need all that time now? Good. Happy letterboxing!

What is Letterboxing?

     If you are interested, letterboxing is where you go out and find and exchange stamps. They are usually encased in little boxes or Ziploc bags, with a logbook to stamp your own travel stamp in. Then you bring a book to stamp that stamp you find in. You can make them and place them yourself. We use erasers and suggest you do the same. They can be literally anywhere. We, The Bee Boxers, summited Mount Rose, placing four along the hike! For more info about letterboxing, look it up on Google and lots of results should come up. We recommend Wikipedia or letterboxing.org. If you have any further questions, ask us in the comments box below.
     We try to get other people into letterboxing and "bee" the best letterboxing-empire-holders Reno has ever seen!
