My grandfather, just recently, turned 80 years old. During his birthday party, I presented him with a letterbox to honor this special occasion. The stamp represents his job that he has had for many years. He is a painter, and has painted many houses in the Lena area. Believe it or not still paints at least 4 days a week. Therefore, I carved him a paintbrush.

Clues: Lena, Illinois is located in northwestern Illinois, on Rt. 73, one mile north of Hwy 20. The box is hidden behind the Lena Community Center. It is located on Lions Dr. just east of Lake Rd. There is a small parking lot next to the building that you may park in. There is a storage shed behind the building. Check the southeast corner of the storage shed just behind the lattice.

Hiker Babe, River Rat, and Emmy Bee were on hand to hide this special box.

Have fun and hope you enjoy the stamp.
