Thanks Melissa, .....
For getting back to us so quickly. I knew I had done a lot of hiking
that day when we looked for the Little River box but I still had some
get up & go in me and was somewhat let down when I couldn't find it. I
also moved leaves, walked both sides of the wall, did small paces &
large paces, even went in the other direction. Nature has it own way
of changing the sites & they don't remain the same. I will most
certainly go again. Maybe I'll wait for the new box though. That's a
great place to hike and I think I'll get there for a sunrise from the
"Lookout Bench".
thanks again,
jurneez & vinnie the Dog.

status on the Little River Box. I am pleased to tell you that it is
still there. Although I have to admit, even though I hid it, I
couldn't find it right away! It looks like the rocks may have shifted
some, and leaves had blown over, making the mica covered rocks really
hard to see. Even when I thought I had found the spot, I had to pull
two rocks out and look in pretty deep to get it. To make it easier to
spot, we put a large rock flecked with mica on top of the wall where
it is hidden. Then we put one of the smaller mica rocks that was
covering it standing up against the wall, so that it was a bit more
obvious to spot. If you move that rock, then lift up the rock behind
it, you should find the little river tucked snuggly inside.

go back. We scouted out another location nearby and found a perfect
spot for a new box. Now to carve a stamp and to get out and hide it!
We will keep you posted. I hope you have a chance to get back and
find the Little River!
