MISSING IN 2008

1. Enter Wakonda State Park (between Hannibal and LaGrange, Missouri).

2. After driving past the park office/gate, turn right and follow the signs to Agate Lake. Park in the parking lot near the lake.

3. Start at the blue parking spaces near the restroom.

4. Facing Agate Lake, look to your left for a trailhead across the parking lot and go to it.

5. Go around the trail gate for Jasper Lake Trail Head and proceed about 30 adult paces to the "Jasper Lake 39 acres" sign.

6. Turn right and take the Agate Lake Trail.

7. Follow the trail to the 2nd birdhouse (blue, Heindselman).

8. Go about halfway to the next birdhouse, just before the trees.

9. Look to your left for a fallen tree.

10. Letterbox is behind the exposed rootball, under the trunk. (It includes a permit for placement within a state park.)

Then enjoy more of this beautiful state park! There is another, smaller lake just to the west of the trailhead where we saw lots of raccoon & deer prints, as well as huge clams!

Please make sure the box is well-sealed and rehidden. Also, I would love to know if you find the box. If you don't mind, please log your find on www.atlasquest.com and/or www.letterboxing.org. In addition to making my day, it will also help others to know that the box has been recently found intact.
