Devil's Lake State Park Letterbox, Lincoln City, Oregon
Another letterbox has been placed in Oregon. This time in the
coastal hamlet of Lincoln City, Oregon at the Devil's Lake State Park
Day Use area.
NOTE: There are two parts to Devil's Lake State Park and they are in
separate areas so please follow these directions carefully. If you
go to the campground you'll be in a nice area, but you will not find
the letterbox (which is on another portion of the lake). There are
lots of State Parks in this area of the Oregon Coast so be aware of
that and don't just follow any old state park sign willy nilly if
you're out to find this letterbox. We do have excellent state parks
here and they are worth going to for their own merits, but at this
time they don't all have letterboxes to hunt for.
DIRECTIONS: Go all the way into the town of Lincoln City on Hwy 101
from either North or South. Watch for the Lincoln City Factory
Stores Mall on the Eastside of the highway. Go East on E. Devil's
Lake Road, which is the road that runs along the North Side of the
Lincoln City Factory Stores. Head down this road for about a mile,
then turn left at the Oregon State Park sign. This is the Devil's
Lake State Park Day Use area.
CLUES: Easy
DIFFICULTY: Distance is easy. A small incline up a paved trail (not
very far) then a small decline down a dirt path (not very far).
Contact with bushes, so you might want to dress for wet.
DEVIL'S LAKE LETTERBOX
The parking area goes down toward two boat launches. From the
parking lot close to the left hand-side boat dock there is an asphalt
trail with a post. Go up that trail beyond the picnic tables.
Continue on after the pavement stops. Go down the small hill and
turn right at the next set of picnic tables. Go straight on the path
through the big trees. Continue on until you can't go straight
anymore. There will be mossy snags right in front of you. Take a
right and go 12 steps. Turn and face right. Now take 3 steps up off
the trail. This mossy snaggy-looking tree surrounded by ferns has
the Devil's Lake Letterbox within its center.

Hi all!
The weekend was a bit crisp and chilly, however, Barry and I managed
to get out and plant a letterbox in Salem. It's based off picture
clues so it may be a bit tricky :)
It is located in Salem, Oregon in Marion County and it's
titled "Minto Brown Island" (although it isn't really an island).
Here's the link to the clue:
