Starved Rock Buffet Letterbox
I & M Canal Series
Clues:
Starved Rock gets its name from a tribal battle in the 1760s. A band of Illiniwek Indians took refuge on the top of this rocky battlement, but the Ottawa and Potawatomi surrounded and besieged them, so the Iliniwek starved to death on top of the rock.
To commemorate this terrible battle, a sumptuous buffet is held every Sunday in the grand Starved Rock Lodge atop the cliff nearby. You may be wise to make reservations before your visit to be assured of a table, especially on holiday weekends.
After gorging yourself on a dozen plates of waffles, potatoes, fried chicken, fruit and omelets you are now ready to find the letterbox.
Waddle out to a nearby bridge over a red-furred gulch.
From here, follow a bearing of 260° to a tower of critters.
Look to 130° for a rustic rest.
Continue at 160° to an always-green plant.
6 paces farther is a wooden edge, where the box lies hidden under a
flat rock next to a small tree.
Be careful, there is poison ivy in the area!
