To find the Europe on the Eel Letterbox heading north or south on Hwy. 101 take exit 636 a few miles south of Garberville. Find the large old European style inn nearby and close to the Eel River. Park where you will being careful to keep your vehicle out of spaces where you may be towed or ticketed. Perhaps for a few bucks you might want to enter the nearby park. Anyhow, whatever you do, position yourself in front of the inn (cool, huh?) and then start walking down the road in a general southwest direction. Follow that road around the bend and over the bridge. When you have crossed the bridge and are on the north end stand with your back to the bridge sign. Note the year the bridge was built. Add the first, second and fourth of those numbers and double. Take that many steps north to the tree. At the tree now take 17 steps at 40 degrees to the next tree. The box is next to the trunk on the non-road side under some rocks.

If you have time you might want to investigate this wonderful old Inn.

Thanks for coming!
