Since Little Boo was an infant, our extended family (my brother’s family, my parents and our family) have rented a cabin in Crestline and spent a week enjoying the lake, family games, cousin produced shows and other quality bonding time. One of our favorite activities is to walk around the lake in the early part of the morning. Since we were on a family retreat, this stamp series became a family project, with Little Boo’s cousin, aunt, uncle and grandparents pitching to locate hiding locations, carve and devise creative stamp names. We hope you enjoy this beautiful tree lined path as much as we do.
Notes:
• The full walking trail is 2.5 miles.
• If you are a “duck” fan, bring some bread, you’ll find plenty of hungry ducks along the way.
• Bring gloves
• Please be careful to rebag the contents and return it safely to its hiding space.
+ Park your vehicle in the big South Beach parking lot on San Moritz Drive. Parking is $2 first hour then $1 every other hour, you can complete the finds in less than 2 hours. There's also free street parking if you can find an empty spot.
30NOV2024 - I fostered this series and there was one surviving stamp which is the main box with the book, it includes a blue ink pad from the Boo 2. All the other boxes only contain the stamp. I highly recommend spending the day out here in this cute and quaint little town.

As you begin your walk you will pass the dog park on the right. Continue on your journey past the “Sit Ups” fitness station. Soon you will see a little bridge. Cross the bridge then stop and do a u-turn down the right embankment. Go under the bridge and reach up to your right. On the ledge under the bridge you will find a blue small round box.

B's Bee (New as of 7/12/2012 - Missing as of 7/7/2013) 30NOV2024 new stamp
** When looking "I'm Hooked" my nephew Brayden poked a small bee's nest and both he and his mom were stung my a bee (both are fine!). Hence we replaced "I'm Hooked" with "B's Bee" :)
Continue along the path past the Recycle and Trash bins. When you reach the huge tree in the middle of the path. turn around. Stand in front of the tree compass 253 W and walk to the tree 15 feet away. Behind it find a concrete slab.
Play Ball (Replanted on 7/12/2012 - Confirmed in place 7/7/2013) 30NOV2024 new
Continue on the path, past the next fitness station toward the baseball diamond.
Stop at the car bridge that has cemented boulders in the large storm drain. Standing at the driveway that enters the old baseball diamond look to your immediate left at the old tree stump. Under it small SPOR hide the ball. Add another rock when found.
Cruzin’ or Snoozin’ (confirmed in place as of 7/7/2013) 30NOV2024 the survivor.
Continue past the ball field, near the parking lot where the path continues around the lake. Walk past the Step Up and Body Curl fitness station and continue down the hill where the water comes up from the lake (or is that out of a drain into the lake?). Look right to an embankment made of rock (real rocks, not a man – make wall of shaped stone). Walk approximately 20 steps up the right side of the rock embankment. About 1 ½ yards into toward the rock (across from where there is a cluster of three trees (and one of those trunks quickly splits into 2 making it look like 4 trunks)), locate a rock that looks like a ledge. A big rock is on top of the ledge rock. Remove the smaller rock below. Under leaves and twigs is your treasure.
Shaded Beauty (confirmed in place as of 7/12/2013) 30NOV2024 new stamp.
(This one was drawn by Little Boo and Grandpa and then carved by Grandpa (his first). Continue on the path all the way around the lake back to the South Beach parking lot. Stand at the parking pay station that's in the middle of the lot. Look towards the street and look for the V tree, right next to it there's a SPOR. Parking space 172.
We hope you enjoyed our latest letterboxes!
