Welcome to the MetroFamily Mitch Park “Creek Side” Letterbox Hunt. The Letterbox was placed in September 2008 as a companion to the article about the hobby printed in our October 2008 issue.

Are you looking for a fun, outdoor activity that will involve the interests of all your family members? Consider Letterboxing. Never heard of it? You’re not alone. I had only a vague knowledge of the hobby when I was asked to write about it. After a little research, a few family members and I embarked on our first Letterboxing experience and, at its conclusion, agreed that the hobby is a fun, creative way to spend some quality time together and see interesting sites that we may never have noticed.

Get out your calendars and prepare for a fabulous October! There are 44 fun festivities listed here. Enjoy.

Parents of elementary and preschool-age children might think they can skip this article because talking to their kids about sex is years, maybe even a decade away. Think again. Sexuality permeates our society. Our kids are exposed to it every day in the media and our society.
