We crossed the Columbia River into Washington state to hit a few letterboxes there.

It was a great honor to even be associated with this early, historic letterbox! Of course, we had to solve the clues to find our way to the proper location - <span style="font-style: italic;">no free rides with the Hog</span> - that's for sure!!!<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v718/johnnylb/4-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /><br />A group shot with Dave, Deanne, Amanda from Seattle, Ryan (Green Tortuga), Marmalade and Mitch (Der Mad Stamper.)
