This letterbox is located at Cedar Falls in Hocking Hills.

[Because this box ends the series, "Bugged Thespians," the following clues may appear to begin at an awkward orientation. However, the single box, "Flute," is accessible independantly--given a bit of ingenuity and figuring out the clues from a post marked "Gorge Overlook" at the bottom of the falls.]


Tucking "Friar Lawrence" safely away, and then having come upon the orange gate at the end of "Grandma Gatewood," you will notice a large gazebo picnic area and restrooms to your left, as well as a more conventional trail to the waterfall.

Yet, standing at the middle of the gate and looking straight ahead at 90*, you could be a bit more adventerous and notice a dirt path that appears to disappear into the woods. Take this path. Down the steps, across the bridge, and through the boulders you will chance upon a clever sign, designed at a 90*, angle which reads "Gorge Overlook." Do NOT take that path unless you want your legs to ache the 2 miles all the way back to Ash Cave . . .

Instead, stand on a stone snug within 45* of this sign, due N, and spot a large boulder [on this side of the metal bridge]. Notice the several little paths that run W from this boulder to an over-flow, creek bed. Follow one of these paths to its end.

Find a large rock that appears cleft into two pieces. Standing on the E half, take a reading of 120* and go 10 paces. In this lovely little grotto, you can find "Flute" hiding snug under tree roots, covered completely by a piece of bark, about 6 1/2 feet UP from the ground.

Ahh, I am so very pleased with this spot and hope you will be too.


Happy Boxing!
