I'm an outdoor person. My wife prefers to be indoors. Thankfully, we both enjoy letterboxing! Just before her birthday my wife apologized that I married a bookworm. I'm not sorry, I love my bookworm!
As a way to communicate this fact to my wife I created an inventive birthday present: I carved this stamp, secretly planted the box (without logging it), created an Atlas-Quest-esque clue, and suggested we find the box as it had been "recently planted." We found it (obviously) and my wife got to stamp our trail stamp as "first finder." I had used my personal traveler stamp as the "planter." After reading the clue, my wife expressed that she would have been disappointed if this box had been planted by someone else.
Clue:
Enter the parking lot from the Meriden Ave entrance and proceed to the left toward the rear of the lot. You will see a stone barrier near the right corner of the lot followed by a row of evergreens. You will notice a space in the evergreens to the left of the end of the barrier. The letterbox is at the base of the first tree to the left of the empty space.
Please use extra caution as, thankfully, the Southington Library is still a very popular place!
