THIS LETTERBOX MAY HAVE FALLEN VICTIM TO UNDERBRUSH CLEANUP. WILL CHECK AGAIN AFTER THE SNOW MELTS!! 1-1-08

Well, it was safe, but there's just too much cleanup going on here again. The box has been pulled again. Come spring I will look for a better hiding place, safe from the Anti-Buckthorn League. Check back later..........
============================================================

So what does a fish do when he needs to go from the DesPlaines River to the Chicago River to access Lake Michigan? Like Marquette and Jolliet did in 1673, he gets out of the water and makes a portage...in this case, the Chicago Portage.

Directions: Chicago Portage Forest Preserve/Historical Marker, Harlem Avenue between 47th Street and I-55.

Please contact me for the rest of the clues.
