ATTN Idaho Webmaster:
Please replace THE STAR LETTERBOX clues with the
following as we checked the box the other day and it
was missing. So here are the new clues for the new
box. Thanks so much. =-)


The Star Letterbox

Placed by A-bear (jedaryn02@yahoo.com) on 10 December
2002
Star, ID
Ada County

Directions: Off of Highway 44 at the Star MERC head
south on Main St to the southern most point where you
can park on the dirt near some large boulders. You
will be able to see a rope swing and a bridge from the
parking spots.

Description: Easy walking or you can float down the
river for this letterbox. If you choose to float to
this box, beware of the rapids along the way (they're
bordered by concrete structures and large rocks so you
probably want to exit RIGHT before them).

Clues: Swing off the rope swing and float to the
bridge or walk from the rope swing in search of the
three large water turn keys. Continue West on
whichever trail you want and under the bridge (beware
of all the cobwebs). Under the Northwest side of the
bridge there is a small opening under the concrete
with more spider webs hiding the STAR letterbox.
Actually I had to replace it since its no longer
there. From that spot head west about 10 paces
(pace=2 steps) where youll find three big trees
intertwined together with a fourth tree fallen in the
river. Inside those trees on the west side youll
find what youre looking for.

Please replace the sticks and leaves to hide the
letterbox out of sight. Go back to the rope swing and
hang out with the locals swinging into the refreshing
Boise River, one of our favorite hangouts. Of course
it snowed today so you might want to wait until summer
to opt for the rope swing route.
