Well I'm a honky tonk man
And I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl
To the music of an old juke box
But when my money's all gone,
I'm on the telephone singing
Hey hey mama can your daddy come home
I’ve been carrying this letterbox around for a year or longer, looking for an appropriate place to hide it, but, let’s face it, I don’t visit many Honky Tonks. So, I came to this park unprepared to place an appropriate letterbox, but, then, I thought, “Hey, what could be more appropriate in small town Texas than a Honky Tonk, or a Juke Box?” Just pick a town, any town in Texas, and a Honky Tonk couldn’t be too far away. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Directions:
Lake Brownwood State Park is 16 miles northwest of the town of Brownwood. Take State Highway 279 to Park Road 15 then east 6 miles to the park. Stop to pay the fee and get a map. Find the Willow Point camping area and park near the fishing pier close to the hiking trail shown on the map.

To the Box:
From the parking area, walk back up a few paces to the upper end of the trail (not the one closest to the lake. This trail goes steeply uphill via a series of rock steps placed by the CCC. Go all the way to the top of the hill. There, you’ll find the remnants of al old rock bench just to your right. From the bench, continue on for 160 steps. This should bring you to the top of a rise. There should be a sewer manhole cover just off the trail to the right. Walk to the left 12 steps off-trail to a short scrub oak. The box is behind the tree under rocks. Look out for critters and stickers and please replace the rocks to hide the box.
