Nothing like a Little Mystery
    
 Today, Heather agreed to get me out of the house on day 15 following my surgery. So when she got home from work we loaded up and headed to Woodstock, Georgia with the hopes of finding a letterbox named "Nancy Drew: The Hidden Staircase." We made our way to the address on the clue which brought us to a church named Little River United Methodist Church. The church is surround by a cemetery on two sides and is very well maintained. This cemetery is home to many of the churches congregation dating back to 1830's with markers dating back to 1800. The church was originally in a different location but moved to its present location in 1854. If you want to get more information on the history of the church you can visit this link http://www.littleriverumc.info/littleriverumc-page02-history.html. We followed the clues and made our way to the box after some guess work. The box was hidden in a very dated but quaint spot behind the church in a grove of trees.
After finding the Nancy Drew: The Hidden Staircase Box we set off to downtown Woodstock to hopefully find another box named "Rock Box: Blackbird." The address brought us to Woodstock City Park that also has a memorial to veterans foreign wars. The monument and design of the park is very tastefully done and quite even for being on a fairly busy street. To no avail, we search but had no luck in uncovering the hiding spot of the Blackbird as I believe the fall of darkness had something to do with it. I sent a message to the owner since there has been obvious construction in the area that may have compromised the box. Nevertheless we will make another attempt at Blackbird tomorrow. It was another memoriable evening with my amazing wife Heather!!
