The tree for box 3 is now a stump but the rock is still a square.

These are wonderful! found at night with a little help from Knits (ok-so I was totally slackboxing ;) ). love these carves!

Great boxes (though they were rather tough to find in the dark)!

We just finished planting a couple nearby so we figured we'd grab these two quickly before it got dark, but we weren't fast enough. Fortunately, the clues were very clear and we were able to find them and stamp in before it was pitch black. Though we usually spend a lot of time on the Union campus, we had not been here since we started letterboxing, so I'm glad we finally found them!

Can't wait to go back and get the other two.

We were there to take the college tour. What a gorgeous place! Thanks for the great stamps too.

great day for visiting Union. Didn't look for box 1 but followed directions to see gardens, of course we were looking for a sun dial (clock with no hands). Box 2 & 3 are ok,box 4 is now missing.There is contruction in back of theater right up to triangular patio . Found stone but nothing tucked underneath. Don't know if it has been moved or not. Looked around down hill but didn't see it anywhere. Therefore not able to log in.

we found out from the groundskeeper that the first box was destroyed and thus had to get thrown out. We did find the next three, which we loved!

My husband and I had a good time wandering around the campus into areas we had never seen. Thank you! Sorry to report, Box #1 is still there but it is empty. :( There is just the piece of material and a Hot Harry coupon. Box #2 was so covered with ants or termites (literally hundreds) that we didn't dare look past and into it. Box #3 is missing the log book but Box #4 seems fine... Just reporting in in case you had time to rectify. I loved the locations and had a great hour or so wandering. Thank you!

Beautiful campus.
