Today was Alex's first time letterboxing with me, and I don't think I could have chosen a more perfect letterbox for him to start with! We parked at West Bank Park in Cumming (it's $3.00 to park for anybody looking to explore this park) and found ourselves in a shallow wood between a pavilion and the lake border. We followed the clue around the corner of the picnic area until we spied an old wooden footbridge in the woods. From here Alex took charge and cleared our path to the bridge.

Once he got us to the bridge he counted the planks, as directed in the clue, and lifted up the loose plank, number eleven. Under the plank we found the "Hula Hula Monkey, where she fell dancing" and stamped in together on an overcast day on Lake Lanier.
