Letterbox Clues:

This box is part of my “Til Death Do Us Part” series. Each box is/will be planted in an old, interesting cemetery in Southeast Michigan. Each box is a tribute to of one of my favorite movies/tv shows in which death somehow plays a major part, although this does not necessarily mean it is the main plot. I am not intending for this to be a morbid series, by any means. I find it fascinating to read the stones in old cemeteries. Please try to appear that you have a reason to be here, pay attention to the all of the stones (not just the ones noted in the clues), stopping to observe them along the way. I hope you enjoy the series and your visit to these historical treasures.

Before you head out…

Solve this simple cryptogram to discover the movie that is the subject of this box:

CUDDIZK NASH

Hint, the cryptogram “key” is the same for all boxes in this series. Before searching for this box, you will need to do some research on some of the actor names, character names, actor birth dates and other information that can easily be found on the internet in a movie database. It is not necessary to watch the movie before searching for this box. Although, it would enhance your enjoyment! Plus, it’s a good movie, so watch it anyway! ;)

Clues:
Drive down the longish entrance road. At the first opportunity, turn left and park between two R's with the numbers of the actress who plays Jenny's birth month ____ and birthday ____, respectively. This cemetery is still active. Please remember to be respectful of the graves and any mourners.

Walk east along the road to 5. When you need to decide which way, let the swan lead you. Gladys was born 67 years before the actress who plays Jenny _______

Walk on; to the left you will see a family with the same last name as the actress who plays young Jenny ______. Keep following this road down; make a left and an immediate left at 15.

Keep on going, stopping to view the stones along the way. When you finally see Rockwell and Purdy ahead, a decision needs to be made. Although it’s not necessary for your quest, I highly recommend going to the left to pay your respects to some very special veterans. Once you’re done, head back this way and down the road towards the cannon.

On your way to the cannon, you will see a Geo and Lydia with the same last name as the character played by Gary Sinise ____________

Keep going and when you need to make a decision, jog left and right by 37-A and 34-B. The Baldwin’s should be on your left. HEY, wait; there weren’t any Baldwins in this movie!

Keep walking. The Butler will be on your right and the Baker will be on your left.

When you reach the sign that has the same numbers _____ as the birth month and the birthday of the actor who plays Bubba, turn left.

Find the Moss with the same formal first name as the actor who plays the title character. _________

From this headstone, walk about 278 degrees X ____ # of steps. X= the “age in 2007” of the actor who plays the young title character.

Face generally north and spot two twins with several skinny spiny arms. Your prize lies in the arms of the twin that is about X____ steps (X= the “birthday date” of the actress who plays'Momma')behind the stone of the man who was born 108* years before ______ the actor who plays the junior title character. (* someone told me this should be 98 years, I haven't verified that though)

When you’re done, make a left down the road to return to your car.

Box Notes:
This box is completely airtight and water proof when closed correctly. Please take care that there is no plastic or dirt between the lid seal and box. Snap all four latches completely when closing.

Please do not place this box inside of a plastic bag.

The log book in this box is a little on the small side, if you have more than one “hunter” with you, please try to have everyone stamp on one page, if possible.

Note, there is no pen or stamp pad inside of this box! Remember to bring your own! Black or brown look best for a monotone look. Or bring markers and do some creative coloring.

Please do not place hitchhikers in this box unless they are small enough to allow the lid to be sealed completely when closed.

Thanks for visiting!
