This box was originially created by Barry, but I've since adopted it. It was last checked on Feb. 25, 2006 and was still there, but hasn't been used in about 3 years!!
It has been brought to my attention that there may be poison oak near the box--be careful as you search!
Clues
On November 22, 2002, Barry, and his letterboxing understudy Justin,placed the "Mount Pisgah Letterbox" near Eugene, OR, in Lane County.
Rumor has it that the top Mount Pisgah offers a great view of the surrounding area. However, when I went up there, the fog was so thick I could hardly see 100 feet ahead of me! Maybe another day will treat me better . . .
On a brighter note, my stamp carving skills are slowing getting better. This stamp is a notable improvement over my previous stamps!
To the trailhead: From I-5, either north or southbound, take exit 189. Exits parallel I-5 until 30th Avenue. Turn onto Franklin toward Texaco station. Turn right after Texaco station (I believe there was a County Parks Sign at this turn). Go a quarter of a mile and make a left onto Seavey Loop Road. Follow Seavey Loop about 2 miles. Cross one-lane bridge and go straight into the Mount Pisgah Arboretum. Parking lots are about an 1/8 of a mile with ample free
parking.
To the box: Start on the trail heading up the mountaint. Stay going straight on the main wide path and ignore the smaller ones that branch off of the main summit trail. Along the way, you'll come to a couple of trail junctions. Just follow the signs to the summit. When you get to the top, there will be some sort of bronze map of the surrounding area. From there, go roughly 200 paces further down the trail. At this point you will see a cluster of deciduous trees, all by themselves, about 100 paces (I didn't measure this one) off the trail to the east. From the middle of
these trees, head 25 paces at 140 degrees to a small cluster of rocks. The box is hidden in these rocks.
Good Luck!
