Letterboxing San Marcos and Central Texas

We headed to San Marcos to do the Volksmarch.  The walk started at City Park and went along the River and into some residential areas.  I took along a letterbox to hide just in case.  Found a home for Squidward near a children’s playground.

After the walk we ate lunch at Jason’s Deli and headed over to Prospect Park to look for Which Way is North.  This is a nice park with a well manicured trail.  We were successful in locating the box.

We then headed over to Upper Purgatory Creek Park to look for Skinner.  This was a much rougher trail and it was a 1.5 mile hike in to the hiding spot.  We saw lots of neat stuff along the way and even found a geocache when we peeked behind a boulder.  We were successful in finding the letterbox.

On our way home we detoured over to Hutto to look for Dream Interpretation: Aggressive Nature which is in Fritz Park.  We found the letterbox.

From there we continued north to Jonah were we first looked for Jonah and the Whale.  It was behind the community center.  Scored another find.

Our last search for the day was also in Jonah.  It was Jonah’s Letterbox which was out in the city cemetery.  We found it also so we ended the day with 5 searches and 5 finds.  Evens out last week when we didn’t find any.

    I’m glad you found “Which way is North? #1”. It doesn’t seem to get a lot of visitors, at least not online. It looks like this is a good year for wild flowers!

    Maybe you should give them the exact location of the trailhead to start from: 29.874922,-97.960268
