Deep Run School House
ArtZ Mom, my co-leader in Girl Scouts, originally created this letterbox in 2006 while we were teaching our troop about the hobby. It went missing in 2007. I have re-created the box for Troop 3198 who is now (2010) learning about Letterboxing. My daughter created the stamp and logbook in 2007 for a Girl Scout Mailbox Ring that went around in 2007. Now it has a permanent home. Enjoy! Mother Earth
To get there:
I-64 exit 178-A (Short Pump Exit)
Left at 5th light onto Pump Road.
Left into Short Pump Park (next to Elementary School)
Find the sign and spend some time studying the letters.
Your clue will appear without a tear and you will be the better.

Four more you must figure out
At this school from the past
The clues have changed but not the quest
Continue on your mission

The box will be in vision

Your victory you soon shall see
The stamping’s in the leather
Please be sure to re-hide well so work crews don’t carry it away!
