  Please post the following new letterboxes to the site.

Many Thanks!

My name is Edna Daugherty and I have recently placed 2 letterboxes in the Starved Rock Area. I would like to see these posted to the LBNA site under the state of Illinois.

Name of Letterbox is Starved Rock Lodge #1

Date placed april 24, 2002

Located in LaSalle County

Located in the State of Illinois

Closed city is Utica

 

Clues

.

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 a cupboard,

or behind a door.

Use your best guess,

and open a drawer.

Starved Rock Lodge #2

Clues

 

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, you'll need to take a peak!

A quarter is the fee,

Eighteen point five is the key.

Across where the Bald Eagles feed,

It's in the building behind 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.

 

 

Congratulations, you have just found Starved Rock Lodge's 2nd Letterbox!!
