Collinsville, IL letterbox not available

    'Cock o' the Trail' and 'St. George' just returned from visiting family in Arkansas.  Did letterboxing on the way.  In Collinsville, IL Across the Board letterbox not available as store where box was hidden has gone out of business.  Would also like 'placers' of the Catsup Bottle letterbox to check their site.  No luck there either.  Passersby wondered if we were looking for 'mushrooms'!
    Otherwise had a good time in the town!

Hi St. George,
Sorry you had no luck finding those two letterboxes. I've posted a note a
couple times about those two boxes being unavailable but the web masters have
been understandably busy. The store owner gave Across the Board back to me
to plant it elsewhere on Main Street. I hope you were able to find the other
three letterboxes on Main Street in Collinsville and elsewhere around town?
I know that all but Keebler Kitten are accessible ....a railroad tie cave in
buried that one I'm afraid.

:o)
