DIRECTIONS:
From Champaign, IL
Take I-57 South for 6.6 miles then
Take exit 229 toward Monticello/Tolono for .3 miles then
Turn Right onto County Rd 1000N (signs for Monticello) for 6.3 miles then

Turn Left onto County Rd 600N for .4 miles
Enter first drive of Saint Joseph Cemetery. NOTE if you are facing the cemetery from the country road, the entrance drive is on the right. You will be using the outer perimeter drive only.
BOXES: 4
COLORS: Red, Black, Silver
TOOLS: Gloves, Sunscreen, Insect Repellent, Ink Pad or Pens, Writing Pen
NOTE: Please squeeze the air out of the bags, fold tightly, stuff into box, and seal tightly. Some boxes may have room for the tiniest hitchikers. Please make sure the boxes are put back hidden as I do not replace boxes and the longer they are hidden, the more fun for everyone.
INTRODUCTION: Edgar Allan Poe was an American author, poet, editor, and literary critic. He was considered the Stephen King of his time. His life was an anomaly of turbulent experiences. Born to actors in Boston MA, he was orphaned at the age of three. He was raised by an Uncle who sent him away to college to be a lawyer. Of course Edgar was a writer and dropped out of college. His Uncle "divorced" himself of Edgar and ceased supporting him. Starving Edgar found himself living with an Aunt and Cousin. He married his cousin only to have her die of tuberculosis at the age of 24. He was heartbroken and took to drink for awhile. The cause of his death is a mystery even today. His legacy lives on in these few stamp symbols hidden in these boxes. Try to figure out what work each stamp refers to. Wikipedia may help.
BOX#1: Follow the perimeter drive, at John D Schimdt on the right, follow the perimeter drive going left. Stop at the space between evergreens. Face the space. The evergreen on the Right has the box.
BOX#2: From the space between evergreens, move toward the exit and look across the drive to the second tree on the left. The box is in the tree.
BOX#3: Stop at the next space between evergreens on the right. Look across the drive. The box is in the first bush on the left.
BOX#4: Move to where the perimeter drive turns left again and stop. At that corner is a tall bush. The box is inside the bush.
IN CONCLUSION: Edgar Allan Poe...read his autobiography and mysteries death summaries. Very interesting.
