Hugs and Kisses Letterbox is Located at the Hershey Visitors Center in Oakdale, CA. Hershey no longer offers tours of their factory so the visitors center is the best we can do for this letterbox.

Located at the junction of highways 108 and 120 in the city of Oakdale. Park in side parking lot between Cowboy Museum and Hershey Visitors Center. At side entrance you should see employee parking area, walk to back of building. Concrete will end and gravel begins to surround bottom of foundation of building. 1 1/2 feet from the beginning of gravel 3 larger rocks cover micro letterbox buried just under foundation. Please be discreet lots of foot traffic.
