On October 23, 2001 The Traveling Circus placed the Oregon Zoo
Letterboxes in the City of Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon. Part of
the challenge in hiding these boxes was finding suitable places that
were not well traveled. Since this is such a popular locale, discretion
is veryimportant when stamping in and replacing the boxes to assure that
they wont be removed by staff or visitors. All of these boxes are in
areas open to the public and adjacent to paved pathways. A couple of
great new exhibits have been opened recently. Check out the Amazon
Flooded Forest. Since the Zoo needs your bucks in order to keep things
going, there is usually an admission fee. However, afternoons on the
second Tuesday of every month are free.

to the trailhead: The Zoo is located about two miles west of downtown
Portland on Highway 26. There is also a Max train station right at the
Zoo if you prefer to leave the car at home. Once inside the zoo get a
map.

to the letterboxes:
The Locomotive Box (stamp by the Plundering Bunny):
Follow the main road until you meet Panthera Tigris. Stop for a quick
drink, then about face and head forward 44 paces. Head to your left
another 30 paces. You'll find the box beneath the creepers in the
corner.

Wapiti Box (stamp by Funhog):
This mammal calls the Northwest home. Find the meadow where Wapiti roam.

Where a sign shows its track, the waiting stamp is at your back.
Go down the steps and you will see the dead remains of a fallen tree.
Underneath and behind, the letterbox you will find.

Marsh Box (stamp by Dragondart):
