Hitchhiker friendly? Yes
Child friendly? Yes
Wheelchair friendly? Only if the chair is gravel approved. (Slight uphill on loose gravel and hard packed dirt)
Time: About half an hour including stamping in (About 2 hours if you do all of the boxes)

This series is dedicated to the many animals that are currently on our endangered species list. Hopefully someday they will be taken off the list as the Bald Eagle was just a few years ago. With efforts we can make a difference!

To the box:
Take highway 34 westbound through Philomath. Take a left on Decker Road. Watch for the red, white, and blue gates. The third one, labeled Rose Road, is just before milepost 2. (About 1.8 miles from Highway 34)

Park on the shoulder and head up Rose Road on foot.
The Kangaroo Rat box is waiting on the left hand side of the road at the first (it was the first when the box was planted, it is now the second) obvious letterbox hiding place. You'll know it when you come to it. Look to the left of the obvious hiding place, just under the edge and you'll find this little rat happily sleeping.

(Hint: The right hand side of the road is clear cut. If you get past the clear cut, you've gone to far.)
