Based on the number of responses to my post about Nowhere, Man, I take it
that people are interested in unusual letterboxes they can find while
traveling. So here is another one this time in Missouri on a side-route
from I-70. It will take you to about the oddest park in the country:
Jim the Wonder Dog
http://midmoletterboxing.blogspot.com/2005/09/dog-days-and-letterboxing-in-m
arshall.html
There was a time when Jim was the most famous dog in America. He could
predict horse races, count, remember odd facts and bake wedding cakes.
Well, maybe not the latter, but he was one smart pooch and appeared in all
the magazines of his time.
When he died, the people of Marshall, MO gave him a full funeral. He was
not only buried in style, but Marshall set up a memorial park right off the
town square. The park is right across from a combination ice cream
parlor/towing service. Great place.
The kicker on this box is that it has been in place for eight months without
being found. I guess it is a bit off the beaten track but well worth it.
The stamp is a piece of art (no brag, just a talented wife).
While you are in the area, find Waverly Apple Festival, a carved-on-the-spot
stamp planted by our friends, The Byrds.

hey! I'm glad you posted about this box. I'm going
to be traveling I 70 later this week and would love to
find this box. I can't get the link to work.
Is the box listed in the letterboxing.org site? I'll
look for it there.

I'm sorry the link did not work. It is a common Internet problem --
the last few words of the link phrase was not sucked into the link
code. The link is:
http://midmoletterboxing.blogspot.com/2005/09/dog-days-and-letterboxing-in-marshall.html
If it doesn't work, copy and paste it but make sure you go clear to
"html".
It is also on LBNA at:
http://letterboxing.org/BoxView.php?boxnum=18306&boxname=Jim_the_Wonder_Dog
Again, make sure the link goes clear to "Dog."
Good luck! I hope you enjoy both Jim and the box. We also have a
number of boxes in Columbia that can be found during a quick stop-over.
