408. A Breath of Fresh Air
A mystery box currently planted along the AT upwind of some PA farmlands

Checked 10 Oct 2010 - still there!

No, this is not the mystery box that we've been meaning to plant in PA for years, but just never seem to get back around to the proper place for planting it! This is just a temporary placement to keep us in compliance with one of Lightnin' Bug's boxes from which we were almost chased off by a scruffy, rabid-looking raccoon! (We had already planted this box near our camping spot of the night before and after the Zoo gathering, so that raccoon had no business trying to run us off either! ;-)

Anyway, this microbox, contains just a crappy little leftover stamp reminiscent of a gathering we didn't even go to (since we generally avoid the "big shindigs"), and we don't recommend going after it unless you happen to be traveling through the area. We had meant to put it a bit closer to the Trexler Game Preserve, but every animal there was kept as neat as a pen, with no discernible smell whatsoever! So, off we went to a spot we remembered along the AT that always seems to have a whiff of farmland wafting up to it, on a mountain road about halfway between a barn full of cats and a lake full of leeches. Once there in the parking lot, simply head west to the gate, find three co-linear boulders to the left of the gate and three co-linear trees to the left of the boulders. Then just look under a couple of flat stones in the right hand corner at the base of the third tree where it meets the wall, if you have any interest at all in finding this silly little "compliance microbox"!
