We took a letterboxing trip to Greenville. Well I pretty much made Chris and Hunter go but Jordan and I were excited. The town has changed since we moved a year ago. There is a new baseball field, West End Field that is modeled after Fenway Park in Boston and lots of new restaurants and condos. We went downtown to the suspension bridge. It is the only curved suspension walking bridge in the country. If you stand still on it, you can feel the bridge move as others walk by. At night, it is lit up and beautiful. You can see the bridge in the above picture of the boys.
We were walking around downtown Greenville looking for the bronzed sculptured mice hidden in downtown Greenville. There are nine mice hidden along a nine-block stretch of Main Street . The idea is based on the Goodnight Moon book. As you can see, it was getting dark. Since there was not enough light for mice hunting, we gave up. But Jordan found a R2-D2 mailbox. I had read about them online but this was the first one we had seen. Jordan, the world's biggest Star Wars fan in his age bracket, had to get his picture with it.
We rode to Traveler's Rest and meet another letterboxing family at a coffee shop. She had planted two letterboxes in the shop. One of them was hidden extremely well. We enjoyed talking with them. She has two girls Hunter and Jordan's age. Jordan has getting hints about the location of the letterbox from them. She also gave us great directions to other letterboxes in the area.
Next we ended up at Campbell's Covered Bridge which is the last standing covered bridge in South Carolina. It was built in 1909 over the narrow Beaver Dam Creek in northern Greenville County, near Tigerville and Gowensville. There were initials carved in the bridge from the 40s and 50s. 
As you can see in this picture, the bridge is not tilting. It was only the angle of the picture.
