Howdy Ya'll! This letterbox is the first letterbox my daughter and I have placed. We chose the city of Forney because it is a special place to us. Forney has very few historical markers, mainly houses, so our choices were limited. We chose a caboose that once belonged to Missori Pacific Lines and is now a permanent monument in downtown Forney. I believe the Missori Pacific Line ran through Forney and spurred development of the city. Now for the clues to find our letterbox...



Clue to box:
Head east on highway 80 - Exit FM 740/Pinson Rd.
Head south on 740/Pinson Rd.
Go straight through the stop light (Broad St.)
At the stop sign make a left
Head down about 1/8th of a mile and turn left into JD's general merchandise store parking lot
Get out of your car and you will see the caboose toward the south next to the railroad tracks
Before heading to the caboose look to the southwest and you will see a bush/tree all by itself in a field next to the caboose
This is where the letterbox should be
SPECIAL NOTE: As your headed toward the letter box, look at the building to the south...Mr. Wilhoit did it all!
Before leaving - make sure to say hi to the Jackribbit Statue in front of the building where Mr. Wilhoit did it all. Happy Letterboxing!

MISSING!! I went and checked on it after I recieved an email about it not being there, and it's gone. I'm going to have to replace it and hopefully find a better spot to hide it. sry :(
