An Amazing Adventure

Since I was on vacation, I decided to spend a couple of days with Lucy Locket, attend a couple of concerts she was a part of and letterbox. I was planning a trip to the Dallas Arboretum to check on my box there, but it was raining Thursday morning when I rolled out of bed, so that trip was canceled. Instead, I decided to wait until Friday morning on my way home so I could stop by Purtis Creek SP and find the boxes that have been there for a couple of years. I was at the event that was held there, but did not get to find the boxes.
Friday was a really nice day weather wise, so with clues in hand, I made my way to the SP. I stopped a the swimming area to map out my route. With a plan in place, I made my way over to the trails. The boxes I looked for, have been hit hard. Two were missing, and one had been badly burned on top. I could not even open the box,so I decided to bring it home with me and get it to it's owner, with hope that the stamp can be saved.



Leaving the park, I headed over to find a box titled "Big Rock Shelter". Monarchtrailer took me to a Pre-historic setting which was amazing. It has been around since about a.d. 600 with Petroglyph and hieroglyphics carved by Caddo Indians.If you read her clue to this box, you will learn the whole story. It is now closed to the public,so you can only see the Rock Shelter from the road. Just as I was scouting out the place where the box is located, and taking pictures,(the box is outside the gate) a car came down to the gate. The driver called me over, with me thinking I have been caught! She asked me if I would like to go on the property and take pictures!!!! WOW! A rare opportunity to get pictures of the historical treasure. She gave me her name and said if anyone asked, tell them she gave me permission. I could not believe I was getting an opportunity to capture this amazing piece of history. To bad PSGuru wasn't with me!I took several pictures and left with a stamp for my logbook,pictures of a lifetime and letteboxing memory I will never forget.
