From McDonald access the Montour Trail (or from the Quicksilver parking lot) cross over the large bride, go up a long hill, pass through one driveway crossing, cross one bridge, and find a "cut" in the mountain at the top of the hill. This "cut" has rock cliffs on each side of it. Find the cattails growing on the left side of the trail. Toward the end of the cattails there is one bunch of them that is the largest. Across the trail from these the letterbox is hidden under a rock overhang about halfway up the side of the hill. You will have to jump a small ditch and climb up the short but steep hill. NOTE: YOU MAY GET INJURED DOING THIS. BE CAREFUL, ESPECIALLY COMING BACK DOWN. Anyway, the letterbox is under the rock overhang, behind another rock. Should take about 10-20 minutes from the McDonald Bride.
To find the letterbox from the Galati Road parking lot near Venice, PA get on the Montour Trail and cross the road that runs beside the parking lot cross a bridge, pass village of Southview on right, cross second bridge, cross two driveways, pass a split rail fenceline on the left, another driveway crossing, and the "cut" is at the top of the hill.
