**********************************************************
The COCo's is a letterbox series consisting of 64 letterboxes...okay, well, it will when it's finished. This series represents every county in the state of Colorado. Originally, Colorado was subdivided into just 17 counties, only two of which remain today as they were originally defined.
For the 'Professional Boxer' these stamps are not intricate, what can you do with a square county? We will; however, attempt to place them in interesting locations and also seek to place them where no other box has gone before.
To assist you and make it a little more fun, there is a county map of Colorado available on our Blog (see link above) that we used to carve these stamps. Please print the map before heading out for your first box. You can stamp the map as you collect these staamps as well as your log book.
It may take us awhile to get around to all 64 counties, so please be patient. Hopefully we'll finish before there are 65.
***********************************************************
Weld:
When Stephen Long first led an expedition to the area comprised of Weld County he declared the land to be unfit for human habitation! Now, the 9th most populous and estensive county in Colorado.
Named for Lucius Weld, the first Colorado Territory secretary; Weld county was established in 1861 as part of the original 17 Colorado counties. Greeley was named the county seat after it bounced back and forth to several locations. Lt. Lancaster Lupton built a trading post just north of the current location of Fort Lupton.
From SR 52, north at Pearson's Park, three tenths of a mile. Find two trees that make a 'V', another makes three. A forth on the ground there be. On the south side of the log find the branch making a "v", your treasure lies beneath.
First finder prize included along with certificate.
We hope you enjoy this box...take the time to check out the local museum. Please provide us with the status of this box.
Happy hunting,
