Hideout Discovery

The following letter is the result of a note and map that I found stashed near our campsite in Little Cottonwood Canyon this past weekend.  A group of kids (presumably three of them) had evidently discovered a clearing in a thicket between campsites and proceeded to declare the area their hideout.  They left a note requesting future visitors contact them via mail along with a rough map sketched of the area.  Reminded of my own childhood and the many family camping trips we went on, I simply had to send them a letter.

To The Three Creators:

With the sun falling from the sky, and the temperature rapidly dropping, my companion and I stumbled upon your hideout during a vigorous search for firewood.   As I scoured the ground for dry sticks, my eyes fell upon the plastic baggie you stashed with the note and map of the hideout inside. 

Thanks to your handy cartography, we were able to navigate the area with ease.  I myself was particularly fond of the “Roadside Route”.  Deeper into the hideout, we found another baggie in a stump containing mysterious items that we assumed to be hidden treasure.  We left these items for you should you return.

I left the note and map where I found it so future campers will be fortunate enough to find it and take advantage of the hideout as we did.  Thank you for leaving this note.  May your creative spirits never dwindle, and your adventures always take you to bigger and better discoveries.

Happy exploring!

Sincerely Yours,

The Forever Upward Duo
