4/25/06 I have had two reports this box is missing. Since I don't live in the area, I can't check for myself, but it probably is.
While visitng Arcata, I found the amazing Arcata Community Forest, and since Arcata has no letterboxes (to my knowledge), I left a little something in this walkers' paradise. It should only take a half hour or so round trip, and you might see a pileated woodpecker, a black beetle, banana slugs, or a raven, as I did.
Take 14th Street past the university to its east end, where you'll see a sign for Redwood Park. Take the little windy road to the left of the sign almost a half mile to its termination in a small parking lot. Adjacent to the parking lot is a grassy field and a kids' playground. Dogs are allowed here on leash.
Clues: Start up the trail that passes to the right of the sign announcing that you are at the Arcata Community Forest. A few minutes up the trail you pass a burned out giant, green with moss, on your left. And then another. You cross one wooden bridge, another, then another. Then take the trail to your right and cross one more wooden bridge. You'll climb 13 wooden steps, then 7 more. A little further you'll see a very large stump on the right, with a hollow fallen log just below and behind it; if I were a kid, I would want to climb around here for a little bit. From the large stump, it's about 52 steps to 9 more wooden steps. At the top of these, take a couple more steps. On your right is a living cluster of three big redwood trees. The deer are in the crotch of the tree, under redwood duff and bark. Enjoy and please re-hide well! You can go back out the way you came, or probably hike all day in this majestic place.
