Difficulty: Creek crossing, but otherwise easy
Distance to Letterbox: 200 yards
***** Carved by Poof Magic Evil Kitty from Michigan ****
Original clues were for TALE XII Event, but new location of box required rewrite of those clues to the following. The rest of the story......This was payback for trick we played on Poof and 4eyes at We Live and Breath XV. I believe while playing a game, I may have bragged that "everything is bigger in Texas", and know I sent an email to such effect, thus this stamp depicting a bear (I assume reference to me) and "Everything is bigger in Michigan" (their home state). Wisconsin Hiker and Martini man hid the box for them at our event, and wrote clues that played on Texas pride. We did not figure it out until another out of state boxer said she had found and knew the carver (Poof). It then sank in that we had been had (I say WE, because a second box by 4eyes was place for Silver Eagle).
Great gag. All I can say is be afraid.....
Directions:
Get to McKinney Falls S.P. After entering, drive to the Visitor Center near Upper Falls and park.
To the Letterbox:
Walk down the path to Upper Falls. Cross over the falls (if safe) to the other side, then follow the long slab of flat rock away from creek. When you reach the end and a small trail, go left off trail for 25 steps up the hill to a rock ledge. box is under ledge, under a rock pile. Please cover it back up well!!!!
