Please bring your stamp, a stamp pad, compass, pen and an old rag to wipe off the box/your hands. This letterbox might become exposed in winter since I am not sure the surrounding shrubs are evergreens and if that is the case, I would appreciate someone lowering it to the ground and covering it with limbs until the surrounding vegetation turns green next spring and please notify me if you have done so, so I can note it in the clues.

The "Safari Man- On The Highway and Interstate" series depicts things one might see as they drive the highways of the U.S. These are targeted mainly for rest stops but might pop up anywhere. This letterbox is titled BIKERS. Happy traveling!

Clues: Heading west, enter the rest stop at the 131 mile marker on I-64 just west of the Indiana, Illinois border and go to the furthest parking spot past the main building. In front of this parking spot is a path leading through the trees. Take the path and then turn left when out of the trees and go to the big tree standing away from the forest edge. Take 3 steps further and look left for a leaning tree just into the forest. The Biker letter pouch is hanging from a lower limb of this leaning tree. You might return to your car to do the stamping and then please replace the pouch as you found it. There is another letterbox not far westward if you want to get another box with just a 15 minute stop off the interstate.
