"Another Day in.......Wonderland"

  On 4 March 2012, Heather and I set out for our evening exercise which happened to entail going letter boxing. We wanted to go find the rest of the Wonderland series which had been eating at us since our first attempt. Heather and I jumped into the car car and made our 20 minute drive to the Iron Hill Trail located at Red Top Mountain in Bartow County Georgia. When we arrived at the parking lot there were quite a few cars in the parking lot so we were definitely not alone in our hunt for the boxes, stealth would definitely be a key. As we made our way down the trail the temperature was just right for a walk, roughly about 54 degrees. However, the wind was blowing pretty good which attracted Heather and I to a little warmer attire. We had already found the first box in the series on an earlier attempt but had come up empty handed on the other two boxes. The walk out to the second box in the series took about 30 minutes, we were looking for the Mad Hatter. Once we arrived at what we presumed to be the right location it took us about 5 minutes to locate the Mad Hatter having Tea. Heather and I took a minute to gloat on the find since the person before could not locate The Mad Hatter. Once we stamped our book and replaced the Mad Hatter we made our way back to the main trail to find The Cheshire Cat. The journey from the Mad

Hatter to the Cheshire Cat took about another 20 minutes or so but because the weather was so nice it did not even seem to take that long. The walk was so peaceful and the wildlife seem to be out an about through the last leg of our journey. As the clue would take us we made it to the second bridge on our way to the car and found the Cheshire Cat just where he was suppose to be. We took a minute to enjoy the peace and quite as we stamped their logbook as well as ours then we returned the cat to its proper spot. It was only about another 10 minutes are so to the car from that point so Heather and I elected to go back to the site of the White Rabbit to ensure he was still there and to enter the stamp on the same page to keep the series together in our book. Once done we made our way back to the car and set out to find a box named "Snake Bit! Copperhead." This box was also located at Red Top Mountain on a trail named "Whitetail Trail." This trail or hike is only a half a mile out and a half a mile back, a short journey to end the day. Nevertheless, we made our way down the trail in search of Copperhead, as we arrived the box location we could not help but take numerous photo as the sites were gorgeous from the vantage point. We dug around in search of the venomous snake but to no avail he had took residence in other than his hiding spot. Heather and I search all over the rock formations but never found the copperhead. However, the walk gave us some very nice photos so it was not a waste at all. After taking more photos we made our track back to the car to end our day. Another day spent with my loving wife and more cherish memories I will never forget. Thanks Heather and I Love You!!
