Boxes were checked on 9/25/2007. We could not find the Water Garden Letter Box and think it got washed away.
Pisgah Letterboxes are located in the Mount Pisgah Arboretum.
Need an ALL-WEATHER HIKE or a COMPASS GAME? Then enjoy this letterbox series reached by a half-mile stroll. Mount Pisgah Arboretum is located three miles South-East of Eugene and East of I-5 freeway. You'll find scenic views, forest trails, identified trees, wildflowers, riverside walks, a water garden and even picnic tables. There may be a seasonal day-use/parking fee. (Which is well worth it!) Just remember, Western Oregon is blessed with an abundance of poison oak; and, ticks have been reported in the area.
PISGAH BRIDGE: Alive and working on
9/25/2007, but it had not been visited.
Beyond the main parking lot is an information kiosk proceded by a blue donation box. From that box, go 90 steps on a compass bearing of 100 degrees to a bridge. Turn to 145 degrees and curve left on a road to a "round" piece of history.
Take the trail that bears 165 degrees, but pause when the peak of the barn silo is at 205 degrees and an oak tree is at 250 degrees. Enjoy the view.
Walk a bit, then take the path which goes up at 130 degrees. At the first intersection keep right and at the second go down a trail bearing 120 degrees. Turn left in the middle of the second footbridge and find a cluster of six tree trunks. Search their bases on the South side. Good Luck! You've had a nice hike and the walk back can be done in many ways, so enjoy.
PISGAH BENCH WITH NEW DIRECTIONS--Placed on 8/07/04. Checked on 9/25/2007 and found in good condition, but it had not been visited.
This letterbox is on a new trail; one not yet shown on a map. Either solve the code or make a map to find where the trail starts. A compass is fun and helpful, but not necessary.

ENJOY MAPS? TRY THIS.--Print the map found by going to www.efn.org/~mtpisgah/MapsContents.htm. Find MAPS and click on "all arboretum trails". Print the map What one trail intersection measures 3 1/2 inches from letter J and 1 1/2 inches from letter P? That is your starting point for a trail going Northeasterly at about 60 degrees magnetic.
START ON THE TRAIL. Enjoy the trail until you can take three steps and rest your feet. What rests your back points at 117 degrees magnetic to a tree 30 paces away. Five more paces and just to your left is the box between a boulder and a tree, but hidden under rocks.
Good luck, and please let us know how this one works for you.
WATER GARDEN LETTERBOX REPLACEMENT--NOW MISSING. Placed 3/12/2006. One of Oregon's governors, Tom McCall, acted to clean up the Willamette River and signed the nation's first bottle deposit bill.
Start near the rest rooms and follow the trail named after McCall. A series of benches, most dedicated, will help guide you. The first bench isn't dedicated, but the next correct bench was dedicated in June 1996. You're going right if the next bench tells you to, "Do good things".
At the trail's end, a bit of road takes you to another bench that tells that, "Vern Adkison was a true preservationist". From there, look for a path that is narrowly between a graveled road and still water. Walk it softly because turtles live there and were out when we placed the box. Turn right when you can cross the water without getting wet and find proof that Bill Hallstrom and Nils Norman were there in 83. Beneath the proof and under the top railroad tie is where we put the box.--We hope we did "did good things", and that you enjoyed it.
