DIFFICULTY; EASY
LOCATION: CHILLICOTHE, OHIO. (ROSS COUNTY).
The general area where this letterbox is hidden was once part of the route of the Ohio-Erie Canal. In the 1930's-40's, my father and his friends used to shortcut through the area on the way home from the movie theater. Invariably, one or two of the boys would slip off from the rest of the group, circle around ahead and jump out from behind a tree, scaring the heck out of the others. While today I can find nothing at all menacing in this place, I can imagine how it may have seemed to several youngsters walking through it in the dark many years ago, after viewing a horror movie double feature.
CLUES:
Parking is available on Water Street, between Walnut and Paint Streets. Take the steps which go from the north side of Water Street down to the lake in the city park. Proceed down the sidewalk to your left, until you come to a very large Sycamore tree. Standing on the sidewalk in front of the tree, take a reading of 295 degrees. Walk in that direction until you reach a tall pine tree with a semi-circular wall around it. The letterbox in hidden somewhere in the wall. HINT: Look for a place which looks different from the rest.
