On November 25, 2001 Funhog placed a new letterbox at Bishops Close in
the City of Portland in Multnomah County, Oregon. This peaceful,
private garden is open to the public for strolling and quiet
contemplation. No rowdy sunbathers, frisbee players or picnic goers are
welcome. The property is an historic residence designed by John Olmsted
in 1914, situated on thirteen acres overlooking the Willamette River.
When the original owner died in 1957, the property was donated to the
Episcopal Bishop with the proviso that it remain open to the public.
Its a wonderful place to enjoy a letterbox.

to the Trailhead:
>From Portland take Macadam Ave. south towards Lake Oswego. Turn left on
Military Road, the fourth stoplight past the Sellwood Bridge. Take an
immediate right on Military Lane to the parking area for Elk Rock
Gardens at Bishops Close.

to the Letterbox:
This letterbox listens to the sound of falling water and the rustle of
bamboo on a breezy day. When you find youself in the middle of a small
turnout looking at Box Leaf Honeysuckle, you can reach down and touch
the box with your right hand. Some branches may have to part but nothing
else needs to wander.
