This minibox is located near the Abita Springs Brewery, in beautiful Abita Springs, Louisiana. It is also located on the Tammany Trace, a fantastic rails-to-trails trail that provides lots of great walking and biking opportunities. We liked strolling down the Trace for a while and having a beer and a great meal at the Abita Brew Pub.

For this letterbox, exit I-12 at Abita Springs, #65. Travel north on 59 into Abita Springs. Park at the brewpub.

UPDATE: 7/26/2006

I had gotten a report that our Abita beer box was missing, so we made the great sacrifice and stopped by the brewery today on our way through.

The box was exactly where we left it a year ago, but the surrounding landscape had changed thanks to Katrina. They also have closed the area of the park where the box is. I retrieved it and replaced it in another spot--

in the little triangle park across from the brewery. From the Abita Springs Park sign, follow the sidewalk parallel with the Trace. About 2/3 of the way down the sidewalk, look to your right and see a cluster of four large trees and a few small ones. The mini box is tucked in next to the small tree exactly in the middle of the cluster. This area is busy, so use your discretion and wait for a good moment to retrieve.

Rehide well, and have a cold one at the brewery for us. We don't live anywhere near here, so would appreciate an email letting us know how the box is doing and if you could do any maintenance required.
