Dec 2010: Box is missing. Sorry. Will post if replaced.

March 4, 2010: Box reported missing. I will check and update as soon as I can.

The box is back in place with a second book. Enjoy!

A compass is helpful.

This is my first letterbox. It was created in August 2006, but it took me a year to plant the box and post the clues. By that time, another Deepwood Box had been placed! I hope you enjoy one of my favorite spots.

Getting there:

Go west from I-5 at exit #253 in Salem (Mission St./Hwy 22). Deepwood Estates is located on the southwest corner of Mission and 12th Street South. Turn south on 12th St., then turn right on Lee to park in the lot.

Clues:

1. From the INFO KIOSK, follow the sidewalk NORTH around the hedges to Alice's LAMP.

2. Walk NORTH on the bricks and swing RIGHT through the ARBOR/GATE.

3. Take a seat RIGHT on the ARBOR BENCH. See another arbor across the bricks? Walk under it and into a SPRING GREEN ROOM.

4. Keep walking forward under "arms that offer shade." Then go LEFT at the CARRIAGE HOUSE side porch.

5. Turn LEFT just past Lord & Schryver's LIGHT. Walk through this GREAT ROOM toward the LEWIS & CLARK GAZEBO.

6. Turning WEST, walk under IVY ARCHES, counting five posts on your right.

7. Down steps of brick, a gravel path, then steps again to a ROUND OF BRICKS.

8. Stand atop the CENTRAL FOURS. Then facing SOUTH, walk 7 steps more.

9. To stroll past SCROLLS, turn RIGHT (or WEST). Go to the CIRCLE OF BRICKS and I'll tell you the rest.

10. Face WEST, then turn to your LEFT. ARCH OF IVY hides me best.

11. Standing beneath, reach RIGHT NORTH at your feet.

12. And please be discreet when replacing this treat.
