** As of 9/29/13 this box has been retired. **

The newest round of the box of the month is under way...

It is still the same idea- a new box every month for the year, from a different carver around the United States. The box will be in place from ~ the 1st through the ~25th each month-depending on weather, the mail etc. The final box (my own) will be permanently placed at the final location.

This year I am doing it a little differently. You will not be going to the same location each month for the new box, but rather the same trail and starting from different locations. The trail will be the Airline Trail. It runs through Lebanon and has many road crossings. Each month I will start you from a new crossing and head to a different spot on the trail.

So, for the eighth letterbox in this series, make your way to the Airline Trail crossing on Route 87 just over the Columbia/Lebanon town line. You will want to park on the South side where there is room for a few cars and then head SOUTH on the trail going around the gate.

You will walk along a bit, passing by ledge on your right a couple of times.

Then the trail will drop away on your right.

When it comes back up to meet the trail, walk to the far end of the next ledge you come to.

From there, walk ~ 50 steps more and you should see a long rock, perpendicular to the trail, on your right.

Walk to the far end of this rock and look under the piece of railroad tie for the extraordinary Our Pioneers letterbox by SN Bone of WA.

Please be sure to hide the box well when you are done. It has many more stops to make before it gets home and back to its owner.

Thanks,
Flutterby

There is something extra for the first finder too...
