See directions for "Anniversary/Western Divide" letterbox. This is a three season box, winter brings snowy/icy conditions and this road is subject to closure. From Kernville head north along the Kern river and cross Johnsondale bridge. At 24 1/2 miles keep left and head toward Ponderosa and California Hot Springs. You will eventually come to a stop sign. Turn right toward Ponderosa and Camp Nelson. You will now be on the Western Divide Hwy. Pass by the Trail of 100 Giants and the unmarked entrance to the "Anniversary/Western Divide" letterbox . Turn right on the semi graded dirt road marked with a "Dome Rock" sign. The road should be passable for 2 wheel drive cars. If it is not it's only 1/2 mile to Dome Rock. At the parking area look for the house shaped Forest Service posting board. From this posting board walk up hill 37 big guy paces at 160 degrees into a cluster of pine trees. Look for a rock slab leaning against a smallish pine tree trunk.( Don't be fooled by the first slab it is not enough paces !) The letterbox is under some movable rocks on the west side of the tree. If you are having difficulty look for a prone burned log. The letterbox is about 5 paces east of this log. After stamping in check out the fantastic view. EXTRA CAUTION, STANDING ON DOME ROCK IS LIKE STANDING ON TOP OF A LARGE BALL, YOU CAN ONLY WALK SO FAR BEFORE IT IS TOO FAR! Keep your dogs on leashes and small children in check. If you are a geocacher check for location of a nearby cache.

There are no restrooms here but Ponderosa Cafe is 1.8 miles further up the main road for eats, gas and lodging.If you are coming into the area from Springville/Camp Nelson look for the Ponderosa Cafe a few miles after Quaking Aspen Campground.
