To find the Wild Life Stamp letterbox, find your way up to the Hemlock Amphitheater. If you know where that is, skip this next bullet. If you don’t know where it is, you might want to read the next bullet. There should be a picture of it on the map, if that helps you find it.
At the Gorge viewing area, facing the water, there should be a path off to your left. This is the main path. Follow it, and don’t go off onto any of the smaller trails. Keep following this path until you see a bunch of sizable rocks in a clearing with a large tree stump at the far end. This is the Hemlock Amphitheater.
Once at the Hemlock Amphitheater, step around the giant fallen tree (This used to be a giant hemlock; hence the name of the area). Behind the tree, there should be a not-so-traveled area, and there should be a short drop off some rocks. In front of you to the left, there are a couple stacks of rocks. This is about thirteen feet beyond the hemlock tree. In one of those stacks of rocks, in between two large flat rocks, you will find the Wild Life Stamp letterbox. Make sure to put it back together neatly and re-hide well and even put a few sticks and leaves in to hide it.
To find the Love letterbox, find your way up to Lover’s Leap. If you don’t know where it is, then read this next bullet. If you do, than skip it.
Lover’s Leap is at the end of the Gorge, the farthest you can go. You find it at the end of the main trail, and the only way you can go is back the way you came or up to the Tupperware mill. So just keep to the main trail and you will find it at the end. You’ll know it when you see it because it’s a giant cliff that goes up in front of you about 20ft high sloping up at about 45 degrees. From just standing in front of it and looking at it you shouldn’t be able to see the river.
Once you’re at Lover’s Leap, look to your right and you should see a cluster of large rocks. Walk up to the far right side of this cluster of rocks. Hidden behind the large rock in front of the other clusters of rocks is a fairly flat rock. Step on top of it and climb down to the next rock. Be careful because it’s a little bit of a reach to that next rock. Once on this rock look down at the river. Then look to your left. There should be a large sedimentary rock protruding out of the ground toward the peak of Lover’s Leap. Look under this rock, and here lies the Heart letter box! Make sure to put it back together neatly and re-hide well.
