 Matt,

I'm trying a new route for posting my clues.  Maybe you would like to try them next time your in the area.  I think I have the direction now for your first box, I'm still working on it.  The weather here has been very wet.  I'll let you know when I find it.

Thanks for the help!

Name of Letterbox: Starved Rock Lodge #1

Closest town: Utica

County: LaSalle

State: Illinois

Date placed: 4-24-02

1. There are 23 chainsaw Wood Carvings at the Lodge. Start at the only one that was carved by Peter "Wolf" Toth in 1989.

*Hint: Go to the front desk in the Lodge and receive the Art in the Park brochure. Save the brochure, it will come in handy.

2. Proceed westbound on the sidewalk.

3. Lounge with the "Stargazer" and follow his right.

4. Not the Lodge,

Not the Hotel

Go toward,

Tonti and DeLaSalle

5. Pass DeLaSalle, at the T take a right.

6. Go over the flagstones and onto the bricks.

7. Go smooth to the East when you greet the man at the top of the stairs.

8. Of all the entryways find the one with the shape of "Land of Lincoln"

Enter. Beware it may be hidden underneath.

9. Have a seat with the 2 brown bears. Look 45 degrees to the right.

10. Its not in the cupboard,

Or behind a door.

Use your best guess,

And open a drawer.

On the veranda under your feet,

There is a stone so very unique.

It points to a view that can not be beat,

So take a walk or a drive, youll need to take a peak!

A quarter is the fee,

Eighteen point five is the key.

Across where the Bald Eagles feed,

Its in the building behing the four-fifty.

Driving is required to find the man,

He wears a fedora because he can.

Remember our previous plan,

And search in the building for the number at hand.

*Box may be discovered:

9-5 Labor Day- Memorial Day

9-8 Memoral Day - Labor Day

**Closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Day and may be subject to closures without notification for security concerns
