Memmen Ridge Letterboxing

I was more tired that I thought yesterday after driving and letterboxing all day. This morning I didn't wake up until 8:30am. And by the time I got ready and gathered my things and had some breakfast it was almost 10:00am. I had a few things I wanted to do but decided to head to Memmen Ridge Open Space. Here I was looking for Angry Birds Series. This is a series of 21 boxes placed by a group of boxers. I also had clues for one other box in the area. So I parked and grabbed my backpack and hit the trail.

I first looked for Douglas County Open Space: Box #4 Chatty Gopher by The Woodshed. This was only a short distance up the trail but in the opposite direction from the Angry Birds series. But I decided to grab it first and be done with it. I easily found the box and stamped in on a nearby bench. Then I returned to the intersection and went in search of the series. I was doing well for the first few boxes and then I started feeling light headed and dizzy. I had plenty of water and some snacks so I took a break and rested. Then I continued on just moving a little slower. I had no problems with the clues or finding the boxes until I got to box 14. I followed the clues I had and found a box. But when I opened the box it wasn't one of the series - it was just a single box. So I stamped in and then checked my phone to see if I had the wrong clue for box 14. The clue was the same as the one I had printed out on Sunday. So I continued on and found the rest of the boxes. I enjoyed this area. It was relaxing and beautiful, full of scrub oaks and pine trees. So today I found 22 boxes and hiked 4.17 miles.

By the time I got to the car I felt tired and was still a little dizzy and light headed and it had started to rain. So I decided to call it a day and go back to the hotel. I have been monitoring my blood pressure for my doctor and things have been good. But the last few days it has been low. I had my blood pressure monitor with me so I checked it as soon as I got into my room. It was low again 98/67. I record my pressure on a website for my doctor so I will monitor it for a few days and then contact my doctor if it doesn't get better. I will still do some letterboxing but I will take it easy.

I rested this afternoon and then logged my finds and now wrote this blog post. In the morning I will figure out what I want to do for the day.
