See The Somnambulist for additional information regarding this series.

1. Use the ORIGIN you plotted according to the instructions for the Somnambulist.

2. Draw a line 282 degrees relative to the ORIGIN. Park your car about 2.5 intervals along this line. Find the power station and walk under the power lines. Look for the small ruins of the concrete building. North of this building along a faint trail is a bent birch tree. Walk the opposite direction the birch is pointing. Look for some trash and a tire around a tree. Look to the north about 30 feet away. There is a bush with some rotting pegboard under it. This is about 3.4 INTERVALS from the ORIGIN. Here is Abe Lincoln.

3. Draw a line 179 degrees relative to the ORIGIN. Park your car about 6 intervals down along this line. Find a trail-head 7 INTERVALS from the ORIGIN. After 8 intervals is a log across a path that mountain bikers have been slowly cutting in half. The trees on the path will suddenly and noticeably change twice after this log. About 9 intervals along this line, at the end of a road, is a clearing. George Washington is on the west edge of this clearing near a boulder, under some rocks.

Bring BUG SPRAY! Wear waterproof/resistant shoes! Be ready for big puddles. Heads up for mountain bikers, runners, walkers, and other people enjoying this nice little wild area. Be careful near the water, it can be high and fast during the spring.

ADDITIONAL CLUES CAN BE HAD BY CONTACTING THE PLACER. But you MUST be able to tell me how close you got to the boxes.

UPDATE 16AUG2007: Some of you may remember me promising you a free pizza if you found BOTH Abe and George. Well, Abe has been found already by a letter boxer from Altona! If he finds George, the prize is his but if someone else finds George and sends me the postcard I'll arrange for them to get the pizza.

UPDATE 23AUG2007: I have moved! If you find George, PLEASE EMAIL ME BEFORE YOU MAIL THE POSTCARD. I will give you my new address.
