Vital stats: Hand carved stamp. Horsham, PA. Could be considered a drive-by box. BRING YOUR OWN INK! Kid-friendly. I’m not sure about animals, but I don’t think they are permitted in this area. Sorry about that… If you have questions that I didn’t cover, please feel free to ask. I’m Swallowdale at JSH11A@aol.com.
Ahoy there, mates! Your high-sea adventure begins in the land-lubber’s town of Horsham, Pennsylvania. First, find the “waterway” (although it may look paved to the untrained eye) named after this object: “a flat stone for sharpening edged tools or knives.” Continue to navigate that waterway until the crewman in the crow’s nest shouts, “Tot-Lot ho!” as he spots it through his spyglass.
Temporarily disembark from your vessel, making sure to leave your first mate well-armed and in command of the ship. Face the double slide and look to your “port” side. Off in the distance you will see an overflow chamber used for bailing purposes. Someone with less imagination than you possess might think it looks like a light-colored cement storm drain pipe, but you know an overflow chamber when you see one!
Take a moment to get your land-legs back and proceed toward the overflow chamber that you spied. Your path will be blocked by some land-locked botanical growth. Now anxious to climb back aboard and resume command of your vessel, you reach beneath the botanical growth to retrieve the treasure chest. Conquest made! Plunder taken! You set sail again with the knowledge that you are a wealthier captain than you were before you stepped ashore. Anchors away!
Notes: This is a smallish box. Bring your own ink as there is none in the box. The logbook is hand made from acid-free and lignin-free paper. The paper was glossy on one side (bad for stamping) and matte on the other (good for stamping). I have made it easy for you (I hope!) by decorating the back/glossy sides of the pages so that the matte sides are left blank for stamping. Basically, if you stamp where it’s blank, that will be just perfect!!!!! :)
My experience has been that there is very little traffic (motor vehicle or pedestrian) in this area even on beautiful days and at peak times. It should be a relatively quiet search for you; at least that is my hope!
Also, please let me know of your find and of the condition of the box. (Oh, and please re-hide it very well!) My trail name is Swallowdale and you can reach me online through LbNA or AtlasQuest. My e-mail address is JSH11A@aol.com. I hope you enjoyed this little letterbox! Thanks for hunting for my box and happy trails to you!!!! :)
