Note: There may be poison ivy in the area of this box. You may wish to take appropriate precautions.
This box was planted to replace the MIA “Doctor Who #7.” New stamp, new location, new clue, but the same number you’ll need to find the ninth Doctor!
Doctor Who was a science-fiction television show aired by the British Broadcasting Corporation from 1963-1989, and aired in America in the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s by many PBS stations. This show was a very important part of my childhood. In early 2005, the BBC began airing new Doctor Who episodes for the first time in sixteen years (not counting a one-off joint production with FOX television in 1996). In honor of this exciting moment in sci-fi television history, I’ve carved a series of nine Doctor Who letterbox stamps, and scattered them all over southeastern Pennsylvania.
The most unique thing about Doctor Who is that the lead character, known only as “the Doctor,” has been played by ten different actors over the years. As a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey, the Doctor has the ability to regenerate when faced with death. His appearance and personality change significantly whenever this happens. Each of my Doctor Who letterboxes is in honor of one of these distinct Doctors (known as “the First Doctor,” “the Second Doctor,” and so on). Each stamp contains the logo in use during that Doctor’s tenure.
The general format of the show is rather simple. In most stories, the Doctor (and one or more companions) would arrive in his space/time ship (called the TARDIS) on some planet or other, then solve a problem or two, and leave again at the end of the story. In keeping with this style, the clues for my Doctor Who letterboxes start at other, already planted letterboxes.
To find the Seventh Doctor’s new hideout, begin at “Douggerware” by Lightnin’ Bug. From that box, return to the trail, and head around the lake clockwise. Very soon, you’ll come to a gully in the trail. (Perhaps with a stream during a wet season? I don’t know…it was quite dry in spring 2006 when I planted it.)
Look to the left. There’s a long dead tree lying on the ground. Go to the narrowest part of the tree, right next to a tree that’s still quite alive. From here, head 17 paces at 250* to a V-tree. Look under a SPOR at this tree.
Make sure you record the number you find on the box…it’ll be necessary to find the Ninth Doctor.
