I was arboreally incorrect in the clues of both of these letterboxes
hidden in Ft Steilacoom Park, Lakewood, Pierce County, WA.
Thanks for helping me straighten these out.

RIP Letterbox
Placed: 31 October 2002, Clues Revised: 26 November 2002

If you spook easily at cemeteries, you might want to bypass this
one, I recommend that you select a different letterbox to undertake

CLUES: Start in the cemetery. Find gravestone marker #89. Add 111
to its number to get the degrees that will lead you to a fir with
a `ghostly' neighbor. At its base and `buried' under some bark lies
the box you seek as it rests in peace (hopefully).



Purple Pumpkin Letterbox
Placed: 31 October 2002, Clues Revised: 26 November 2002

Park in the parking lot near Barn #2. Have you ever seen a purple
pumpkin??? This just might be your chance!!!

CLUES: From the road N of Barn #2, head along the gravel road at
about 120. At the chunky wooden bench, turn R until 3 firs on your
L you find. Turn L, then when concrete meets you perpendicularly
turn R and continue along the concrete and sandstony path. At the
intersecting dirt path, turn L, continue along it and stay on the
main wide dirt path as you head up a small hill. Cross the gravel
path and continue straight on the narrow path (approx 145), R at the
next `T', then L at the following `T', R at the next `Y' toward the
treeline, L at the `Y' and R at the `T' following along the trail
that borders the treeline. Head up a slight hill and L at next
small dirt trail uphill into the woods (you see, odd purple pumpkins
are only found in odd little places). R at the `T', R at `T'
downhill, L at `T' uphill. From the cut tree in the trail, 13 steps
to a log R of trail. The purple pumpkin is nestled on the uphill
side among the brambles and bark. You see purple pumpkins can grow
anywherethey're just difficult to find!!!
