Directions: From
Rolla, take I-44 west 5 miles to the Doolittle Hwy T exit.
Drive south 2.6 miles, passing Doolittle and coming into
Newburg. The street turns into Main, and at the dead end, you
turn left onto East Main. Go 1 block and turn right onto
Water Street. After .3 miles, the road turns into Hwy T again
and you come to Hwy P. Turn right at Hwy P and go 2.8 miles
to County Road 7550. Turn left. Drive 2.1 miles to County
Road 1576, turn left again. Cross bridge, going 1.1 miles and
turn right into the campground and trailhead parking lot.
Clues:
This clue you'll have to do some
deciphering to figure out.
From the parking lot, take NEIP
ETRE trail south to the OMROUSMH trail. Follow that trail
west up a steep and long hill to the NORCA trail. Turn south
following trail to the AOK EAFL trail. Turn east. Here you
will want to keep a look out for the tree with a large ugly
OBIL. When you find that, dismount and tie your horse
(preferably cross tie) for a short time while you look more
for the letterbox. Look ROTHN from the tree and you will see
a LALELN GOL. Behind that is where the box will be hidden.
If you get to the LARUTAN EGDIRB, you've gone too far. Be
careful, there is poison ivy close by and before grabbing the
box, please look carefully to make sure there are no snakes or
such things around it.
Warning: Finding this
letterbox might be hard because of the confusing nature of
the trail system. Be sure in each case that you turn, you
are turning onto a trail and not a logging road. The trails
will be marked with diamonds, if you see no diamonds for
quite a ways, you might be on a logging road and will have
to backtrack to the trail you were on before turning.
To borrow a phrase from
letterboxer Lnd-Crzr -- No letter box should suffer from
improper re-hideation! Please Re-Hide with care.
Before you set out, please read the
