It was a graveyard smash!

On our second letterbox adventure we found ourselves in a graveyard. We spent the weekend in Alabama and decided to do a little research. Come to find out there is a letterbox located in the local cemetery in Frederick's hometown. We were excited to learn that Scottsboro has a registered letterbox considering the size of the town. We were even more excited when realized that the box was hidden in the cemetery where the kids' great grandfather is buried. We decided to check it before leaving town on Sunday night. It just so happened that by the time we figured out all the clues, the sun had set and we were standing in the center of a very old and very dark graveyard. I wasn't to keen on sticking my had inside the old tree trunk in the dark (no, we were not smart enough to bring a flashlight). I finally felt around until I found a broken stick to use to poke around until I felt the box. Nothing like walking around in the dark, feeling behind tombstones for sticks, and reaching inside tree branches. Homeschoolers really know how to have fun! The kids absolutely loved the entire excursion. And I was thrilled to add yet another stamp to our notebook!
