KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: Box is within cemetery fence, but placed on outer perimeter. Please be respectful and careful to step only on paths.There is no need to disturb headstones or plots to find this box.

DIRECTIONS: Caddo Cemetery lies on Park Road 33 leading into Possum Kingdom State Park from Highway 180. The Caddo were a peaceful Native American tribe whose history is honored across Texas, in part for giving our state its name.Texas comes from "Tejas", the Caddoan word for "friend".

CLUES: From Park Road 33 going towards Possum Kingdom State Park, take the road marked Caddo Cemetery which branches off to the left. This is a rough road which winds around farms and fields. Follow it to the end.
Enter the black wrought-iron gates and walk carefully to your left, reading the headstones as you go. On your right is a marker with the name of half a Hollywood musical-writing team; On your left is a marker with a rather fishy name; On your left a little further along is a marker with a small figure that Little Bo Peep might have lost. On your right will be a marker with the symbol of a white dwarf.
Now you should be amongst the Proctor family stones. Find the marker for Johnny and note the date of his death. In the opposite corner of the graveyard find a marker for someone whose surname is that holiday.
To your left will be an evergreen tree against the fence with a large rock on the ground. The letterbox is below the rock. Please replace carefully and make sure the box is sealed tight, since it is almost below ground.
