Comments: Our "three hour drive" home from Evart was on about hour 5 by now; PoPo's daughter SkydancerCrystal had finally recovered from not being able to go to the fountain at the RR #1 box. In order to minimize further drama, we "cheated" and drove the clues to this box, rather than walking. I've never been to downtown Midland. Very nice place! That courthouse is awesome! Very cute Santa house, too. The clues to this box are very fun and inventive to follow along with. The relief image is sweet! Nice place. Weirdest thing happened at this box, we found it intact and in place, but there was no log book inside. The stamp was there, but no book! Weird. Maybe someone accidentally put it in their bag when they logged in last time. Who knows! Left some paper behind for future log-ins and emailed the placer. Cute stamp.

Comments: Found the first box in this series. We weren't in the areas of the other boxes, but will have to make a trip back up north to find the others. Very cool "monopoly" box and stamp. Major, major drama from PoPo's daughter because we refused to let her play in the really cool fountain! This walk was a lot longer than we expected and it was super hot! Really cool place, though.

Comments: Excellent stamp! Very nice tribute box for LindaFay's dad, planted near his final resting spot. Very ingenious "box" and planting spot! Love the log book, too. We appropriately visited this box on Father's Day.

Comments: Had a really hard time finding the starting spot for this box. I knew where I was supposed to go, but not exactly where it was. Got off the main highway way too soon and stopped at the wrong trail head at first. Nice rail trail system! Very, very busy! Had to wait a long time for people to leave so we could pull the box out. Got a little confused by the small trail, but eventually found it. Had to wait a long time again for other people to leave so we could put it back. This should have been a quickie stop, but it took about 45 minutes! Fortunately, it is a very pleasant place. Great view.
