Letterbox Clues: 

Forty paces from the lighthouse door on a heading of 160O you will find a flat tan colored rock (part of the stone jetty). From here, the lighthouse door is at a heading of 345O, the beacon at the end of the stone jetty is at a heading of 140O and the point of the jetty across the inlet is at a heading of 195O. Sit, face east looking out to sea. The letterbox is at your feet hidden below many stones. 

When you return the box, bury it beneath many stones so that it doesnt wash out to sea. 

BE OF GREAT CARE THIS IS A HEAVILY VISITED AREA. BE DISCRETE.
