Iron`Bear and his girl pandora have planted a letter box at Powell's
City of Books in downtown Portland. The bookstore is located on the
corner of 10th & West Burnside.

Placed: March 11th 2003
Created by: Iron`Bear and his girl pandora (Iron-Bear@lycos.com &
hispandora@phlsystems.com)
Number in series: 1
Terrain Difficulty: Parking might be a chore but that is it. A nice
indoor hunt great for those rainy days in Oregon.

This is a very popular bookstore in Portland. It is located downtown
and parking may take some ingenuity. The bookstore is very busy and
discretion is necessary as the letterbox was planted without the
knowledge of the staff. The clues are not very difficult per se,
however there are several of them and it can be a bit time
consuming. It is definitely a letterbox to do on a rainy day in
Portland. Powell's has a caf and tons of books and is located near
some very cool downtown shops. You might even want to make a day of
it.

You are about to learn about and explore a fantasy world created by
an author that began writing in the early 1960's.
