06/05/06: Several reports of missing box. Unconfirmed by placer. I'm pretty sure it's not there. Not sure when I'll get to replacing it.
"If we do not succeed, then we run the risk of failure."
-- Vice President Dan Quayle
Huntington is known pretty much for one thing, producing our 44th Vice President, James Danforth Quayle III. Although he spent most of his childhood in Arizona, he graduated from Huntington High School in 1965. He went on to major in "booze and broads" (according to his father) at DePauw University in Greencastle. A spectacularly average student, he went on to IU Law School, moved back to Huntington, and opened a law firm with his wife, Marilyn. He ran for Congress and the Senate and managed to win both times. After a career in the Senate, he was placed on the Republican ticket by George Bush in 1988. Vice President Quayle was known for his kooky quotes and random misspellings. He's either the most honored or most embarassing politician in the State of Indiana, depending on your politics. And now he has his own letterbox....
Clues:
Make your way to the Little Turtle State Recreation Area, located on Roush Reservior (or the Huntington Reservior) south of Huntington off of SR 5. Enter the grounds and pass the campground. You will see a turnout on the right for the Me-tek-yah trail. Park here and enter the trail behind the covered bench. Proceed on the trail and you will soon be faced with a choice. Follow the pup tent and hiker and soon you will come to an orange marker on the right with the number one on it. From this marker, take a reading of 80 degrees. 7 paces at this heading brings you to where the hot potato lives! I would suggest continuing on the trail, it makes a nice loop and is beautiful. We didn't plant it further on the trail due to massive ice chunks on the bridge.
This is a wildly popular trail, so please use the utmost discretion when finding and returning.
