I misnamed this box when it was originally planted. I took 20 years off poor Smokey's life. I have edited the name to reflect his true age of 70. This is NOT a different box.

Sunday, 12/14/14: This is a spoiler, but I put a hitchhiker in this box, but I failed to stamp the box's image into the HH's logbook. I probably won't get back to the area very soon, but if someone finds the box before I have a chance, would you please do that. I'd very much appreciate it.

This box is the only one I have planted all year. I had hoped to get it out in August, but that didn't happen. So I have settled on planting it on a date that won't occur again until the end of the next century - 12/13/14. I certainly hope to have better luck planting next year!

This box is located in the Rudolf Bennitt Ccnservation Area. From Columbia, nineteen miles north on Hwy. 63, then five miles west on Route F, then 2.75 miles north on Route T, and then .05 miles west on County Road 2930. (There is a cemetery and church at the intersection of T and 2930).
From the north, take Rt. B west at Clark, then south on Route T to County Road 2930.

Park in the first lot on the right, and take the gravel path westward. As you near the shooting range, (which is on the south side of the road, with the targets to the south of it, in case you are worried about stray bullets) the path will turn northward and go downhill. Where it turns sharply westward toward drainage, stand at the lowest point of the turn and look 350 degrees to a tall snag with a hollow center. Inside the top of the snag, resting on bark and covered with bark Smokey is waiting for you. Please cover the box completely with bark and leaves before you leave.
