THIS BOX IS LOST
We highly recommend a visit to Glacier Point if you ever find yourself in the vicinity of Yosemite. It has a perfect view of Half Dome and many of the falls. As you drive into the parking lot there is a lower lot which you come to first, the letterbox is just off this lower parking lot. First find the potty building numbered with 5202. As you face the side of the building, your back will be facing toward a 6 ft. block wall. Turn around and walk across the parking lot and walk along this wall (in a westerly direction, to the right). When the wall ends, you will see a pile of large rocks and a tree stump that is about 2 feet high, but 4 feet WIDE. From this stump, walk WEST about 30 adult paces toward a trash can. On the other side of the trash can is a sapling tree which breaks into two trunks. At the base of the sapling there are 2 boulders (about 2 feet wide each). The letterbox is hidden behind and between the boulders. Hopefully, it is still covered with smaller rocks, twigs and pine needles. Be discrete! It is a popular place. When we planted the box we were at Glacier Point about an hour having lunch (watch out for the squirrels!!) and strolling the vista points. Our friends visited the same spot a couple hours later and saw a bear! So, you may see more than Half Dome on your visit.
Please let us know when you find the box.
