**Box #1 stamp was stolen again. I will replace in a new spot when I get a chance to get up to Duluth.**

These letterboxes were hidden on our 20th wedding anniversary. We have been coming to Duluth since our honeymoon twenty years ago. We are busy with kids, jobs, and volunteer work-so please forgive the purchased stamps. One day we hope to replace them with our own carvings.

The What A View Duluth Harbor letterboxes are hidden in Enger Tower Park which overlooks the city of Duluth on West Skyline Parkway. This is a perfect place to have a picnic and take in the view of the Duluth Harbor. We actually watched a ship leave the harbor as we placed the letterboxes!!!!!!!

Clue #1 Once standing in the parking lot have Enger Tower on your left. Take the stairs to your right all the way up to the gazebo. Stand in the middle of the gazebo(facing Lake Superior) and you will see a path to your left. Take it 33 paces, you will see a group of four evergreens to your right. Walk towards them, and find the one with the Y trunk. To the left is a large rock that cracked off from an even larger rock. Between the crack, under a rock you will find the letterbox.

Clue #2 Start back in the parking lot. Take the path up to Enger Tower. First walk up the tower and enjoy the view. Once back down, go behind the tower. Touch the middle of the back, go 34 paces to the beginning of a path. To the right is a very large rock-follow it 7 paces, you will come to a marker from the US Coast & Geodetic Survey. Follow the arrow. Keep going past the leaning evergreen and you will find another marker. Stand by it, to your left you will see what looks like a fire grate-turn and face it. Find the 6 trunked birch tree beyond it. Under the rock at the base of this tree you will find the second letterbox.

Please remember to leave no trace behind. Permission was given by the Duluth Parks District Manager. Thank You!!!
