Munching Moose Letter Box














Date Placed November 3, 2009
Letterbox:Traditional
Carver PhotoGram
Placers: PhotoGram
Location:Spanish Fork
Status: Active

While spending a few days with Grandchildren at Snowbird, we saw this moose munching near the path leading from Iron Blossam Lodge to the Snowbird Center. I thought it would be fun to make a letterbox about it and plant it at Snowbird. However, It is a place that is often covered with snow and a bit hard to get to, so I decided to simply plant the pox in an easier place. Yes, I am lazy.
Enjoy anyway.

Clues
In Spanish Fork, go west on 100 south until you get to Spanish Fields Drive (1000 West). Follow Spanish Fields Drive until it ends and you can’t go any further. Turn right and park on the side of the street before you drive over the bridge. Cross over the the walking/bike path on the east side of the road and begin there. The first clues are a series of photos of things you will pass. You shoulf find them in order by staying on the main path going toward the mountains. Good Luck!
All these will be on the right side near the edge of the path or on the path.


The "Frog" on the log could have fallen offbut watch for them anyway.
The mark on the tree will below your waist.

When you reach the V in the path you should be able to see a grassy area and Maple Mountain clearly in the distance. At this point turn to your west and count back to the 11th yellow line on the path. Turn to the right. There are To boulders about "Moosehead" sized in the right side of the path. Beyond the western-most one and down the slope there is a fallen log. The moose is resting there. Enjoy!

  1. Thanks for a fun time! We went this afternoon for our first time letterboxing. We weren't sure about the letterboxing ettiquette, though. Are we supposed to take anything out of the box or are we supposed to replace anything we find with another "treasure"?

  2. The surprises are meant for any kids who find them. (Only take one per child, please.)
