This box seems to be missing. Sigh.


Driving on the Interstate can get a little tedious. What better pick-me-up than a Box Stop--a short excursion not that far off the freeway that offers the opportunity to stretch one's legs (and find a letterbox in the process).

We've planted one Box Stop on Interstate 95 in Ridgeland, SC, exit 21. The box is located on the Blue Heron Nature Trail, a fun and quick rest stop less than 1/2 a mile off of the highway.

Once you exit the Interstate, go west. Quickly turn right beside the BP and follow the signs to the Blue Heron Nature Trail. We parked next to the restaurant and had a great lunch on the porch, so if it's meal time you might want to do the same.

When it's time to find the box, head to the nature trail made of recycled material and go to the right (towards the lake). Walk on the trail until you come to the second set of swings on the left. At this point, you are in full view of diners on the porch, so discretion is key. Go down the wood steps and walk around to the side of the steps closest to the restaurant. The box is hidden under the 3rd step from the top. There is a barrier that should keep the box from getting pushed back too far, but use a stick to be safe. Please replace well, etc.

We continued down the trail and saw lots of birds, turtles and an alligator sunning itself.

We don't live anywhere near here and won't be able to check this box except for every two years. Please perform any needed maintenance and give us a shout and tell us if the box is still viable. Thanks!
