Princess Turtle and I are going to D.C. tomorrow and I can't find
the clues for the Einstein Box. I know I have the wrong title for the
box but I can't find it listed under DC boxes. Help would be greatly
appreciated on where to find the clues.

The Box is called Orion the Hunter clues are below OR you can find on
the LBNA site under that name. (Great box by the way, Frostpup and I
stamped in there about 3 weeks ago.)
ORION the Hunter
Placed by The Doubtful Guests
October 18, 2002
Washington, DC
Hand made stamp
Micro letterbox
The Einstein Memorial, Constitution Avenue NW at 22nd St. Step up on
to the black marble and look at Einstein. The tourists all climb on
him and get their picture taken.
Brace yourself before you look down. You are standing in the middle of
space. Below you are the stars of our sky. Just in front of you is the
bronze disk of the sun. Far to your left, you will find the tree stars
in a row of Orion's belt. Very distinctive in the sky, no three stars
line up quite like that, it is somewhat hard to find on this map.
(Pssst, there's a map in the free brochure.) Rigel and Betelgeuse
(often pronounced beetlejuice) are its two brightest stars. I am told
that in the original Arabic Betelgeuse means "armpit of the hunter".
The hunter aims his bow at some dim hare but it looks more as if he is
hunting the V shaped face of Taurus the bull. He will miss. His arrow
will fly on and past the tight star cluster of the Pleides. You must
follow it to reach your goal, on beyond the Sun and the crescent Moon
and up the sidewalk 14 cracks to a cedar on your left. Velcroed to a
small branch at eye level is the micro letterbox made of two film
canisters taped together.
Be discrete so that no tourist may see you and take or destroy it and
please replace it carefully obscured by greenery.

Wishing you better luck than me. I think that I was frisking the
wrong tree. LOL
