***This box is missing per a fellow letterboxer. I have sent my Aunt & Uncle to do a search and rescue. I will update this box pending the rescue operation.***

This box was supposed to be planted in honor of our family camping trip for spring break 2009. We were to camp at Suwannee River State Park in N. FL and this was to be hidden there. However, upon our arrival we learned that the park was closed due to flooding. We were all disappointed and rather than head back home to SW Florida, we decided to drive to TN and visit my Aunt and Uncle. They live only a few miles from where this box is. The area is so rich in history and quite beautiful.

Find the town of Bell Buckle in Bedford County. Try and come for the R.C. Cola and Moonpie festival! The town is located between I-24 and US-231.

Once you find the town you will need to locate the road that shares the name of where chickens call home. You are looking for Cross Roads Church circa 1832 Church of Christ. The locals tell me that this gloriously old church only sees a congregation on Easter Sunday. There is a cemetery beside the church. Find the knee high rock wall that protects a family plot that shares the same name as the road this church is on. Enter the plot and find T.N. & Mattie. Put your back against T.N. & Mattie's stone with your back to the church. Take 6 paces towards the rock wall and there is a decent sized hole. The box is covered in camouflage tape. Be wary not knock the box down into the wall.
