The June finder was very lucky bc the construction zone obliterated all clues after the asteroid belt. Nonetheless, this was a fascinating place to visit in the beautiful Pisgah mtns & to observe PARI's preparations for the 8/21/17 total solar eclipse. The place is in a tizzy!

Construction going on and Saturn was moved. But you can still access the farther out planets. Just ask. Was thrilled to find this box three years after last finder. Once you find the correct sign, the three trees in the clue are big, small, small. Not big, big, small.

Sadly, I arrived on a Sunday and was unable to access the grounds. Check the footage, I waved. I will try again next time I'm in the area. Lovely drive!!

Made "contact" with an alien life form at P.A.R.I. This place is a well kept secret. I never knew it existed. Well worth the trip. Incredible mountain views from the observation deck. Thanks for the plant and intriguing writeup. The box, logbook and stamp are all in great condition.

Great place. The director of education came out to help us sign in. She was excited to learn about letterboxing. A great place for more boxes.
