Finally replaced after being missing for 2+ years.
This letterbox is hidden at one of *the* prettiest overlooks I have ever encountered.
Point Lookout is in Green Ridge State Forest, on Carroll Rd. just off of Oldtown Orleans Rd. Perched on the mountainside, this stone overlook has a magnificent vista of a full bends of the Potomac and the surrounding countryside. In the distance you can see Sideling Hill (?), train tracks, a few small farms, and West Virginia. Best time to see it is in the late afternoon, bathed in glorious golden light.
After you've taken in the view, walk up the stairss. Ath the top of the stairs, count 8 fenceposts to your left. Box is hidden in top hole of last fencepost (broken off from others).
BYOIP (bring your own inkpad), no logbook, handcarved stamp.
If you're looking for a place to stay in the area, I recommend nearby Little Orleans Lodge (www.littleorleanslodge.com).
