>Too funny, Latte Man and Curious Crane! I just got this email! I wonder if you were out there checking on your box on the 13th when we were there. Did you read my reply to Mary Manatees report? My boyfriend, his cousin, and his friend were off exploring and making a lot of noise while I was trying to retrace our steps to find the right spot for Laurel. I was walking around looking verrrry closely at telephone poles when 2 people passed. Did you see me there?
>When Betz and I went last year, we never found a wooden footbridge. We crossed over on a very slippery and crumbly-barked fallen tree. I thought that was your "bridge to nowhere." I know we weren't the only ones to not find the bridge. Nice box, though; pretty area and nice stamp. I hope it gets more visitors now.

>PASSPORT TO THE FALLS LETTERBOX
>Placed by: Hamish MacBeth, Cousin Knuepppe and Adam Ant.
>Date: April 8th, 2003
>Number of Boxes: Two (other is "A BRIDGE TOO FINGERPRINTED")
>City: Los Angeles
>County: Los Angeles
>State: California
>Place: The Angeles National Forest Picnic Area - Switzer's (other is on the road.)
>Terrain Difficulty: Easy
>Status: Alive
>Note: You do need a FOREST ADVENTURE PASS to park at Switzer Falls. Sorry about this - Cousin Knueppe has purchased a Pass (for $30 for the year, I believe. So if you have one - go for it!)
>1.) Find the Angeles National Forest - I think you can take Highway 2 and you enter from the south-western entrance just off the 210. Check to be sure.
>2.) See the 'Angeles National Forest Picnic Area - Switzer's' sign. Turn right, take the road all the way to the bottom. Park in the parking lot at the beginning of the creek.
>3.) Walk toward the picnic bench, huge boulder and beyond is a foot bridge. Cross it.
>4.) Take note of the signs and follow the trail for Switzer Falls. Keep going along the trail. FOLLOW THE CREEK. At the fork in the road, veer right. (Not toward the outhouse.)
>5.) Keep in the path, there is poison ivy around. There is an opportunity to veer right, you may take this or continue straight - they will meet up. (If you want to be sure - KEEP FOLLOWING THE STREAM.) Go over the rocks. (At any time you can go back to the trail.)
>6.) The path will eventually force you to cross the rocks. The stream forks - take the far one - so the stream is now on your left. There is a tree with a sign on it that says 'TRAIL' with an arrow.
>7.) A little ways up is a small clearing on the right with a huge six trunked tree. Keep going.
>8.) You'll have to cross the creek again so now it's on your right. Keep going. LANDMARKS: On your right will be a stone wall. Ahead are two trees.
>9.) Cross the creek. On the right above is a tree with eight trunks - ahead of you in the middle of the road is a huge boulder. Climb up and stand in the middle of the tree, your back is to the creek.
>10.) You'll see three of the trunks that form two paths. Take the left path. (Between the left trunk and middle.) You will see a big boulder on the right, a flat, blackish boulder in front of you and a couple above that.
>11.) From the center of the tree, go about eight paces forward/up through left path. Now, look to your left - there are movable stones, the letterbox is behind them. (It's about 2-3 paces up and to the left.) Please be careful with the stones and put it back like you found it for the next Letterboxer!

>Name of letterbox: Prairie Rose
>My name: P. Granola (p2jd@aol.com)
>Date Placed: 4-13-03
>Placed in honor of the restored prairie effort at Willowbrook
>Wildlife Center
>Difficulty: Easy
>State: Illinois
>County: Dupage
>City: Glen Ellyn
>Location: Willowbrook Wildlife Center
>Directions: A few Miles West of 355 on Roosevelt Rd (route 38). Take
>Roosevelt road to Park Blvd. Turn South onto Park Blvd., travel
>about 3 miles. Willowbrook Wildlife Center is located on the West
>side of the street; there is a brown sign at the entrance.
>History: The Willowbrook Wildlife Center is a part of the DuPage
>County Forest Preserve District. Primarily it is a center for the
>care and rehabilitation of injured wildlife. There are indoor and
>outdoor displays of animals that are too damaged to be released into
>the wild but well enough not to be euthanized. The center is a great
>family attraction. Make sure you visit indoors and then look around
>outside at the Koi pond, prairie garden and wild animals.
>Behind the nature center there are hiking trails that take the
>visitor through a variety of ecosystems (deciduous forest, savannah,
>pond & prairie)
>Clues: After you have toured the center and wandered around outside,
>make your way to the path that reads "nature trails" (It's located
>between the red tailed hawks and passenger pigeons cages). If you
>would like you can take a trail map out of the mailbox located to the

>Here's a new Idaho letterbox-with more to come
>Placed by: Cadenza
>Date: April 12, 2003
>Location: Swan Valley, Idaho
>Difficulty: easy
>Swan Valley is a beautiful little drive, midway between Idaho Falls, ID and
>Jackson Hole, WY. Keep your eyes out for wildlife, as it is abundant. This

>Idaho side you will also get a nice view of miles and miles of those famous

>station (3.5 miles past the letterbox spot on Hwy 26). If you want to be
>really true to the area, try the huckleberry-my favorite.
>>From Idaho Falls follow highway 26. You will reach your turnoff spot in
>about 30 minutes. Just before the road goes over the Snake River, you will
>see a sign that points to Falls Creek Road and Campground. Turn right on
>that dirt road. (The road is actually called Snake River Road, but the sign
>for Falls Creek Road is easier to spot from the highway.)
>1.3 miles up the dirt road, you will pass a turnoff, then go over a small
>bridge with a wooden fence next to it. As soon as you pass the creek, there
>is a pulloff area you can park a car in-pass it and go to the next pulloff
>(right after it, on the left side of the road). Park there and go up to the
>two posts in a V shape. Starting at the two posts, walk 66 paces (1 step)
>down the road in the direction you had been driving, staying on the left
>side of the road. On your left is a ditch/trail, follow it down (just a few
>feet). The trail comes onto the top of a rock ledge from which you get a
>nice view of a waterfall going into the Snake. The trail then forms
>naturally into three or four stone "steps." At the bottom of these steps,
>on the left side, the rock juts out some, with space underneath it. Hedged
>in that space, with loose rocks in front of it, you will find your reward.
>Please be sure to replace the rocks too, so it won't be visible and hedge it
