Description

Astro D, rubberpeace and myself are planning a Halloween Letterboxing Event in Santa Fe, NM.
We chose an early October date so that we could have it in the mountains before it gets too cold.
We have reserved Group Shelter #2 at Hyde Memorial State Park.
Please visit the website (http://www.emnrd.state.nm.us/PRD/Hyde.htm) for more detailed information. It includes information regarding how to get there, weather, park layout and camping. There is a $5 Day Use Fee (per vehicle) - Please Note: do not pay at the designated fee station. You will need to find Astro D or lionsmane and pay one of them. We will need to collect the fee from eveyone and then pay the rangers all at once.

Please be advised that we will be in the mountains and the temperatures at this time of year can drop pretty low at night and early morning and get into the high 60’s during the day. Dressing in layers will help make sure you don’t get too cold or hot. There is a fireplace at the shelter and we will provide a fire if it is too cold in the morning.

We will be providing different soups for lunch. We are requesting attendees bring bread, chips or crackers to go along with the soups. Also any kind of desserts would be welcome. And don’t forget to bring your own drinks! No Glass Containers!

There will be a few boxes planted just for the event. Clues for these boxes will be available in a goodie bag that you can pick up when you arrive at the event. But remember this is a Halloween themed event and you must provide the magic words in order to receive the clues. And if anyone is planning to plant a box of their own in Santa Fe remember to write out the clues and bring them to the event. We will have a spot to post these clues.

Here is a list of boxes already planted along Hyde Park Road:
Raven's Ridge
Ski Bear
Aspen Vista
Land of Enchantment Series
Bad Bad Black Sheep
Ribbit
ev·o·lu·tion
Western Blue Flag
El Pino Solo
El Pueblo Vista
I'm a Lumberjack and I'm OK
You're So Vain I Bet You Think . . .
You might want to take the time to check out these clues!

October 6th is also the start of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. Go to their website for more information.
