No stamp pad. Suggested colors: any.
Easy terrain, no poison ivy in the area, basically a (long!) drive-by.
Nearest towns: Hot Springs, Virginia (Bath County); Covington, Virginia (Allegheny County)
This box was placed to commemorate a small family reunion of sorts. My husband, daughter, and I live in Illinois. His brother and sister-in-law live in North Carolina. We recently rendezvoused at our niece and her family’s house in Hot Springs, Virginia, where I placed it.
Exit Interstate 64 at US Route 220 at Covington (sorry, I don’t recall the exit number – perhaps it is mile 12?). Follow US 220 (north) through town and up the mountain. (Your total drive will be about 20 miles to the box. Make sure you have enough gas!)
A few landmarks along the way:
About four miles from the city limit is an unnamed scenic overlook. Two miles further is another one, with a large sign reading “Falling Springs Overlook”. Be sure to stop and see the falls!
Seven more miles and you’ll pass the Cascades Golf Course, part of the Homestead. Keep going, and soon you’ll be in the town of Hot Springs. You can’t miss it. First you’ll pass the Bath County Hospital, then the hotel and surrounding complex of the Homestead.
In town, find Sam Snead’s Restaurant (Hot Springs’ native son), and follow US 220 as it turns to the right. About a half mile or so down the road, you’ll see the Homestead’s Old Course. Watch for a monument erected in 1920 by the Virginia Hot Springs Company commemorating the planting of trees to honor the men of Bath County who served the country in World War (I). If you pass the golf course, you have gone too far.
Look around back for what you seek. Hide it well – you know the drill! Please be careful with the hinges on the box – I have reinforced them, but if closed improperly, they will break off. Open (and close) the two long sides simultaneously, then the short sides. Since I’m about 700 miles away, I’d appreciate any first aid the box may need over time, as well as reports of its status.
