Part of a series of 8 letterboxes in Redmond’s Dry Canyon.
Here’s the story behind these letterboxes. Grandma W turned 70 years young this year and we thought we would give her an unconventional present. ‘Ya see, she lives above the Dry Canyon and really, really enjoys watching people in the canyon ….families walking….folks bike riding….people birding…..runners sweating….an occasional horseback rider…..so we thought we’d do our part in encouraging some more people into the canyon to look for some more letterboxes. These 8 letterboxes represent Grandma (and Grandpa) W.’s grandkids (who all like to letterbox too!). Samuel is the sixth grandchild (but only by 5 minutes) and lives not far from the canyon. He’s planning to take his Johnny Cash act on the road.
To get to the Dry Canyon in Redmond, take HWY 97 North and turn left onto Pershall at the flashing yellow light. Drive down into the canyon and turn left at the sign for the trail head. It will point you to the water treatment facility and to the parking lot for the canyon trail.
TO THE LETTERBOX:
Take the main dirt trail from the parking lot path. Follow it around for a while and pass through a barbed wire opening. Keep on truckin’ and as the gravel path comes into sight up ahead, find a tree with 5 rings just off the trail to your right. Peek behind the tree, and lift up a rock or two.
Central Oregon is a mecca for all kinds of critters. Please be VERY careful when letterboxing in this area and be sure to read the waiver of responsibility and disclaimer. Please be sure to reseal baggies and containers and re-hide boxes in their original location, completely hidden from view so that more people can share in the joy of finding them! Thanks so much!
