This box is in the Grayville City Park. From I-64, take exit 130 and drive north on State Hwy. 1 for about 1.6 miles to the center of Grayville. Turn right on North Street. Turn right on Water Street. Turn left on Lake Street. Turn right on Oxford Street. At the large campground sign, turn left on the curving park road. Just after passing a set of children’s swings & slide on the left under a large tree, the road takes a 90 degree turn to the left to start up hill. At that turn there is a gravel road going to the right to two small red & white “yield signs”. Park at this road intersection.

Walk on the gravel road the short distance to the “yield signs” and turn right on the dirt road (this apppears to be an old railroad bed). Walk until you see on the right or left a round culvert pipe down below you in the gully. Continue on the road for about 30 steps to an old wood telephone pole to your right a little off the road. Continue walking on the road for about 110 more steps to a round wood pole about 4 ft. high on your right a little off the road. From that pole, go at about 280 degrees (from mag. north) for about 24 steps to a large three-trunk tree. The box is on the east side of the tree under a rock covered with plant debris.

Please be sure the contents are double ziplocked when you put them back in the box (i.e. the stamp is in a ziploc, the book is in a ziploc, and the two are in the larger ziploc bag). Please rehide the box well under the rock and cover with plant debris so that it can not be seen from any direction.

I will not be able to check on this box very often; so, please let me know if you find it or if it is missing or needs attention: http://home.att.net/~azroadie/letterboxing.html

Please record your find at www.letterboxing.org/ or at www.atlasquest.com/ .

Before you set out, please read the waiver of responsibility and disclaimer.
Please be sure to reseal baggies and boxes carefully so that they stay dry and rehide boxes in their original location, completely hidden from view.
