No one has been able to find this box, so we believe it's probably missing. I would not recommend searching for it unless your going to be in the area anyway. Might be a while until we can confirm the status ourselves. We had to kind of hide it in a hurry, so I don't know if that was the best spot.

This letterbox is located at Port Crescent State Park in Huron County. You gain access to the park off of M-25. Also be sure to check out the Sleeper State Park Box located at nearby Albert E. Sleeper State Park.

=============
Where to Start
=============

You need to print a park map before you go. You can find one at http://www.michigandnr.com/Publications/PDFS/RecreationCamping/port_crescent_map.pdf

Using the park map locate the Chimney Monument. You will have to pass a ranger station to see the monument. Let the ranger know that you have come to check out the monument. Park near it and have a look.

=============
The Clues
