Has anyone figured out or attempted my WV mystery box called Character Actor?

I'm fairly certain I have it narrowed down to a relatively small area, but a part of the clue near the end baffles me. Of course, it might help if I was physically there to look around. Not sure when I will get back to those parts.

Hi there: I've only gone as far as the two names... but that seems like just enough fun for most people. That is it takes some bit of research. I had to look for the first, and the second I actuallly knew to the degree that I knew who it was, but had to double check.

I've certainly worked much more difficult puzzles... BL47 can vouch for that part... (Hi to BL47).

After coming back to write you, I saw a third entry, and I admit knocking off early... I'm in BC Canada and not very close to WVa... but I used to be and know their hills well. I will look at the last part later on today to see what they saw in the description that might have been confusing, but I agree local knowledge and 'being there' is a great help to seekers.

IF I ever get back there, I'll look for it for sure.

With the help of Google and GoogleMaps I'm pretty sure I figured it out. But living in California makes grabbing this box pretty unlikely for me.
:(

I was thinking that it should be fairly easy with some research, but maybe there could be something stumping someone local. The image of the 'box somersaulting its way down the steep hill has been replaying in my mind for the past two years. I was going to check on it on my way to the We Didn't Start the Fire event in NC, but it was a rainy fall day in WV. That didn't seem like a great idea to look for a box on a steep hill.

Thanks for the responses. I didn't find one of my favorite plants last night. It was a blue diamond, but hadn't had a new find in almost four years. Like Character Actor, I had been worried about that one. Unlike Character Actor, it is only a few miles away, so a little easier to check on that box.

Living close will help me. I have the park name and where to look. Not up to a steep climb for awhile though.

Okay. If you get to it, you get to it. =) I still should go check on it and maybe find a few more of a secret agent somewhere there in WV.
