I have placed a letterbox (Hickory "O" Run, #10) based on the permanent
orienteering course in Hickory Run State Park (Carbon County - Eastern
PA). Details can be found at http://www.mapsurfer.com/boxes/box10.html
Hickory Run is a beautiful place, and the orienteering map there is one
of my favorites (and one of the most challenging in the area).

I have also placed a second letterbox in Hickory Run (Hickory Trail Run, #11)
for folks who are there but don't feel like doing the orienteering, with
rather straightforward (for me :-)) (1 star) clues. Details at
http://www.mapsurfer.com/boxes/box11.html

Finally, for those with too much time on their hands, I have placed a
mystery box (Merlin's Pre-Columbian Mysteries, #9), not in Hickory Run
with rather difficult (4 star) clues. Details at
http://www.mapsurfer.com/boxes/box9.html

I know of 11 boxes now in PA, and feel pretty confident that we are gonna
catch those Oregon folks :-) (Of course, we're well ahead of them on boxes
per sq. mile, but I'm sure VT takes the lead on that one ...)

Happy hunting :-)

[For the other webmasters, this affects the PA, NJ, and NY panels. I have
generated new maps in the usual place with Hickory Run (the NY one is a
mess).]
