Dear Lisa and Tom,

Sounds like you were very close! I am going back to the region next week, as
our family takes its annual vacation at Paradox Lake, and will be checking
in on all three of the Leatherstocking boxes (and hopefully planting
another.) I will let you know if any of the boxes are missing.

I haven't seen a sign saying not to climb onto the embankment. If there is
one, I may have to change the clues.

The Three Musketeers reference is not important for finding the box.

Thanks for the feedback.

Well, let's see. I found the Carillon letterbox at Ticonderoga last October.
However, Not sure if anyone else has visited since then. It sounds like you
are on the right track though. it is a bit tricky for we too had some
difficulty finding it. nice stamp though and well worth finding.
