OR: Something strange is afoot!

From: dicknoone (dicknoone@yahoo.com) | Date: 2002-11-26 05:41:29 UTC
It has come to my attention that strange items have been left in
certain letterboxes in the Portland area. Further items may possibly
be left in more boxes in the near future. I am currently in
possession of one such item. I do not know the significance, if any,
of these objects. I presume that the objects may contain information
of interest to the letterboxing community but that is speculation on
my part and if true I have not yet had the wits to decipher any such
information. I believe the items to be identical, but am not
certain. I am instructed to inform finders of the objects that,
after studying the object, it should be given to another letterboxer
or placed into a letterbox. I am further instructed to pass on the
following:

Stumped, are you Willard? Perhaps you should visit Jack. He is
lonely having only had a few visitors since I last saw him quite a
while ago. He is apparently tired of fast food, asking me,
"What's for Dinner?" It may be wise to head to the
metallic mountain via the path of seven, but be careful; the count
may be off as the fallen alder leaves have obscured the way.

Please make no attempt to elicit further information from me. I am
not at liberty to disclose the little additional information about
the item I possess. I will not return email.

A brief interview with Willard revealed that he has concerns other than his next meal. He told me of a recurring dream in which he
travels a long, narrow portion of Highway 101. Traveling with him is a set of hyperactive quintuplets.The siblings are never able
to stay in the same seats, constantly scrambling from spot to spot. I took note of this tale and consulted the Red Oracle of the
Heartland. His perls of wisdom have revealed the true meaning of Willard's dream. Yours truly, N. Wise

I too have had a similar dream. But in my dream I also saw an
elusive, daring odd hen in the distance. As I ran by, twice, where I
thought the hen was, I found neither the hen nor her platter. After
awaking I visited a friend, a ready source of wisdom, always
reliable, A number one. She said, "Seek high and low for what you
desire, but be careful in determining which bit of information is
true and which is false." I went to an area I thought may be of help,
but found that the two bits, one large and one small, had already
taken the information. I had the strange feeling that this was eerily
appropriate. Perhaps they are even related to the quintuplets.
Conquered, I felt in my soul the need to retire to a place of
refreshment. Arriving there I was flattered to be asked, "Are you
21?" Perhaps I shall try again, off and on, in the future until I
find what I seek.
