New Burlingame area RI letterbox

Spent another afternoon cleaning up the huge mess at North Camp.
Even though half of the garbage is still there, at least now
it's "presentable", all neatly stacked at campsite 859 and not strewn
almost all the way to the letterbox as it had been! We also told the
Burlingame Camp rangers, so they should be picking up the rest of the
trash sometime soon.

Anyway, in an attempt to sweeten the deal, I've put in another box
about a half mile in on the way to North Camp. From the second stone
wall corner that comes to a point right near the dirt road -just
before the "spooky" spruce grove and just after a patch of slickrock-
take about 8 steps west, then carefully pry open the lower lip of the
pink granite mouth, and out will come ... a little butterfly!

cool ... I may go out there tomorrow morning. Last night I did the
Little Red Schoolhouse. I was the first person to do it since you
put it back out. If you ever need help cleaning up I would be happy
to help & live about 10 minutes from Burlingame.
