Does anyone recognize the Garden Club Bridge Letterbox? The webmasters
at LbNA received the following e-mail:
Hi! I love the concept of what you all are doing. Is it like
geocaching? Anyway, one of our restoration ecologists brought one of
your boxes in to me here at our office for Lake Forest Open Lands
Association. We protect rare and threatened species of plants and
animals by preserving habitat. The ecologist brought it in because it
had been left off-trail, in an area where we are trying to protect
fragile plants. It is labeled "Garden Club Bridge Letterbox". I am
sorry we had to remove it, but we cannot risk the trample of many feet
into our fragile areas. If the box had actually been left under the
Garden Club Bridge, that would probably be OK, though we don't
encourage it. But somehow it made its way off-trail.
Since this is the only contact address, I'm writing to you. Could you
pass this on to the appropriate person? Thanks much, and have fun with
letterboxing!
Best regards,

I'm guessing that this is one of the Beatles series by letterboxer Beetle. He mentions in his
clues that this series is in the Skokie River Nature Preserve of the Lake Forest Open Lands
Association. I just did a search on Atlas Quest for Illinois and "garden" and that's what
came up.
