Crabtree Falls Letterbox
Planted August 24th 2002
Tyro, Nelson County, "Central" Va
Difficulty- A good long hike on uneven but marked and
maintained terrain.

Driving directions: From Richmond (as a general
starting point) take 64 west to 29 south. Then take 56
west untill you reach Crabtree Falls Highway, there is
a green sign telling you to turn left. The upper
entrance is about 4 miles past the lower entrance on
the left.

Crabtree Falls Letterbox

Hike down the trail from the top of the fall,
Beautiful overlooks, visit them all.

Before reaching last view, which is paved in white
Is what you seek, at not a great height.

Watch the handrail, it knows when to stop,
Walk on the white, is too far, your odds go "plop".

Look for twin grandfathers on your right,
About four feet apart, always in t'others sight.

Twixt these grand brothers rests some stone
Behind the middle one I make my home.



The lower entrance to Crabtree Falls is currently
closed while an expanded parking lot and restroom
facility are being constructed. It is posted "No
Parking" and "Closed" for the safety of the workers
and the public. Please DO NOT bother them. Therefore,
my instructions are from the top of the falls, which
is a long but beautiful hike. The road to the top end
is a little "unfinished" but maintained, high ground
clearance is recomended. The nearest campground is
www.crabtreefallscampground.com, which is perfectly
wonderful! Box is within 2 feet of the trail, we shall
see how long it lasts, but I was concerned about
damage to the vegitation. Diana helped me plant it,
she left a special treat!

Enjoy!
