Once you’ve arrived in Warrensburg look for the “queerest” street in town. Head west up Old Town Hill and continue past the old Davis Store. Look for the stone pillars across from 620. Enter, if you dare.

Go north up the hill and find James Gallagher. You can ask him where the box is but he won’t answer---he’s been dead 160 years. Just north of James is a big cedar tree. Take 20 paces north from the tree and you’ll find the entrance to the woods.

Enter the woods and at about 75 paces you’ll come to a fork in the trail. I’ve always been a big believer in taking the high road.

Now---for a little hike. Up and down and over and around---about 300 paces should bring you to another fork in the trail. At the dimpled oak, take a left and take 32 paces---you’re almost there.

Step down the oak roots and directly ahead is the “Triple Trunk Tree”. Use his roots to step down to your right---don’t slip on the moss. Now crouch down and look to your left. It’s a tiny little cave---too small for bats to roust, but big enough to hide a letterbox.

Thanks for searching for the “Hoot in a Hollow” letterbox.
