This is a series of 3 boxes located in Tanglewood Park in Clemmons, NC. It is meant to be an easy, leisure find. Enjoy!

NOTE: As of 1/16/09 the second and third boxes are no longer there until we can replace them. The first box is in place and intact.

Start by passing the main Tanglewood entrance and parking in the small river access parking lot beside the Yadkin River (before the Kathryn Crosby bridge). Once there, go to the river's edge and facing the river, take the path on your left. You will quickly run out of path and turn right onto a grassy way (Oh well). Enter a meadow looking for three trees next to three trees. Cross the meadow (exit stage right). Follow the wide path that follows the river (lots of interesting footprints here). Go among the fallen logs and stay right. Where a tall tree has snapped, falling into the fork of another, leaning over the trail you will find the first box. It rests in the snapped tree stump of this tree. (watch out for the thorn bushes!)

Box #2: Continue along the same path till you can't go any further. (if there are flags across the path, ignore them). Watch out for that drop! It's a doozie! Well, now what? (hint.....box #3 is on the opposite bank under a fallen tree .....no, not the one hanging off the cliff, the other one on solid ground) But you can't get there from here so you'll just have to turn around! Go back and take the first path on your right. Keep watching on the right for a fallen tree bridge. Cross the tree bridge and X marks the spot of the second box.

NOTE: Box #3 is currently under repair (as of 9/16/07).
Box #3: Now from here you're on your own. Remember the third box? It's waiting on that opposite bank. Following the creek will eventually get you there. (well, we had to make this a LITTLE challenging after all). It rests under a log a few feet from the bank. If you don't want to wade thru the weeds keep going thru the woods the direction you were heading when you crossed the tree bridge and you can find a nice dirt path on the other side of the woods that will get you most of the way there.

The usual disclaimers apply. Be careful putting your hand inside tree stumps and such in case of critters taking residence. These trails are shared by horses and mountain bikers, so use caution. Letterboxing, like any outdoor sport, carries the risk of unforeseen hazards. "Letterboxing North America" supports a policy of not knowingly placing letterboxes in areas that will create undue risk to the letterbox hunter. However, as conditions may vary, it is the responsibility of the letterbox searcher to become thoroughly familiar with the conditions in the area to be searched, to adequately prepare for those conditions, and to conduct oneself safely and responsibly with respect to those conditions and with respect to his or her personal abilities and limitations. "Letterboxing North America" and the individual letterbox sponsors assume no liability for events which may occur related directly or indirectly to one's searching for a letterbox.
