run me through how to submit my clues again.
you know what, why don't you just submit them, it's your stamp.
This box was placed by the Jacksons on 7/30/02 it is located near Two harbors in LA county.
Parsons Landing is a campsite that is an 8 mile hike or a 4 mile paddle from
the Isthmus towards the west end of Catalina Island. Upon your arrival to
Parsons Landing you will notice a very large rock formation just above the
high tide mark. If you stand just to the left of this formation & face the
ocean you will see another cluster of rocks to your left that is in
the water (maybe just under the surface). Walk directly inland from this
rock formation. About10 feet to the left of the first campsite on your right
is a prickly pear trail, go up this trail. At the first landing, turn left
to a little area that looks like it dead ends, do not continue up & around
to the right. As you get up around the dead end you will reach an area that
is somewhat private from the beach. Turn your back on the ocean & look down
just beyond the shrubbery area to the right here is a pile of
rocks. What you seek is buried in this rock cairn. You should just be able
to see the big rocks through the brush if you were to turn 180 & look out at the water
from here.
