This letterbox was placed by The Paisley Orca and John on July 6, 2002
in the Columbia River Gorge near Corbett, Oregon in Multnomah County.
DIRECTIONS: Take I-84 East to the Bridal Veil exit. This puts you on
Hwy 30. Go East on Hwy 30 (lots of great waterfalls along here), past
Multnomah Falls, till you see a green sign that says "Adopt-A-Highway
Program Gorge Lovers Bud and Lynda. Park in this area.
Clues: Easy.
Terrain: Easy, short hike of perhaps 1/2 hour or less. Unfortunately,
not handicap accessible. Trail parallels closely with Hwy 30.
---------------------------------------------------------------
THE LEMUR LETTERBOX:
Park in the trailhead parking and head up the Oneonta Trail. At the
junction follow the sign for Gorge Trail 400/Larch Mt. Trail heading
West. You'll step over a log and keep going. Go under the arched
branch and continue on a ways. When you come to an immovable boulder
about 2-1/2 feet high jutting out left center of the trail (in the
middle of the path for all purposes) Stop. Reach down, touch your toes
and look left. Beneath the flatter-looking mossy rock to the side the
Ring-Tailed Lemur lingers.
Best regards,

Greetings Amanda,
We're new to letterboxing and decided to try the Columbia Gorge for our
first outing. Looks like we missed you by one day on the Oneonta trail - we
were there Sunday and found the Horsetail Falls and Triple Falls boxes. I
retrieved the Hitchcock Hitchhiker from the Triple Falls box and will be
planting it today at the Finch Arboretum box in Spokane.
We tried Maryhill Museum on the way home Monday - but it appears as though
the grounds have changed somewhat since the clues were posted. We found the
area where the Peacocks like to hang out, and we took a compass reading from
beneath the Men's room sign. As you walk to the furthest tree (towards the
Museum), at the southwestern-most corner of the group of trees, there are
several stumps where trees have been cut down. Also, there is no 'brush'
per se - the area is a garden now - we felt a little strange walking into
the garden looking under bushes (there's a huge Oregon Grape plant there)
and it wasn't long before we attracted the attention of a gardener. We
calmly left the area, admiring the rest of the gardens on the way out. The
gardener tailed us all the way to the car. So, I don't know if the box is
still there or not. Have you heard of it being found recently?
Best regards,
HangGlider (arlen fletcher)
