This is One Klever Koyote!

Koyote, of the End Gang, is barking up the right tree! He's taken the bull by the horns. Ok - enough with the analogies!

Our friend, Koyote, now of the lucky state of VA, has collaborated with a local park ranger and made arrangements for a fully sanctioned letterbox within the Claude Moore Park in Sterling, VA. This historic park contains a visitor's center, nice hiking trails, nature programs and some unique historic sites. It has the last preserved section of the Vestal's Gap Road on its property. Vestal's Gap Road was used by George Washington frequently and troops used the road during the French and Indian War, which is the name of this new box. This road was also used to evacuate the Declaration of Independance and the Constitution when the British burned Washington, DC during the War of 1812.

Working with the park manager, Pam Sheet, Koyote has planted a single box on the Claude Moore Park site. Boxers will be directed to obtain clues from the Visitors Center. There will be no clues published on the web. Info will be provided so that those new to boxing will have the proper guidelines and etiquette that is expected when boxing. Boxers will be required to solve the clues by locating certain objects in the visitors center's exhibition room and around the trails and historic buidlings located on the property. This box is a limited one that will be out for a year. Koyote has already begun to plan for the replacement box.

This sounds like a win/win situation. Letterboxing is introduced and sanctioned by the park officials, visitors get the experience of learning about history and this park, the manager now had another method by which to promote her park, and new boxing addicts are properly educated by the instruction sheet that is part of the clues. Great work, Koyote!
