MICHIGAN TRIP - JUNE 7-12, 2012

Heading home to visit my MIL for a few days. We made several stops along the way and relaxed doing some letterboxes. Several we tried were either missing in action or we struggled terrible with poorly written clues. I dislike general discriptions like: big rock, tall tree, bush on right..... you get the idea. So here are the boxes (4) we were able to get. FAMILY MYSTERY, IMLAY, MI After we got to our hotel the first night on the road we treated ourselves to this letterbox in the cool of the evening. After we go home here to NY I realized that I did not click a picture! It was a simple stamp, and a nice clear cut find. DURAND UNION STATION, DURAND, MI After a couple days at my MIL's house we needed to break from her and she wanted to lay down and take a naps. We headed straight out to do a couple letterboxes. We already have been to this train station several years ago for another stamp, but it is always a pleasure to come back to this quaint old style - STILL WORKING station. I would love to sit on this platform and watch the trains go by all day, but it was almost 91 degrees and it was not something to do that day anyway! They had a great disply of train memories and it was air conditioned! FREAKER'S CAP, BANCROFT, MI Another cute location in a quiet peaceful cemetery. Clues were just enough to make us think but not totally confuse us. Sat in the shade to log in because it was so hot! MICHIGAN STATE FRUIT, LAPEER, MI We did not get to letterbox again until we were heading home. Just before the bridge to Canada we stopped at the last American rest stop to grap this stamp. The box was located in the hollow of a tree and unfortunately it was totally under water and the log book was completely soaked and honestly, ruined. The stamp was great AND there was a hitchhiker in there that was nice and dry. We brought that home with us to send on it's way here in NY. That is always exciting!
