This letterbox was placed as a part of the I-94 Traffic Crawl letterbox series. This series was started to populate the I-94 corridor between Billings, MT and Port Huron, MI with letterboxes suitable for travelers. For more information and a complete listing of the boxes in this series or if you are interested in planting a box, join us at the Freewayletterboxing Yahoo! Group.

My Letterboxes in this Series…

Background…

This box was planted on our way home from a trip we took to Chicago to see one of our favorite bands, the Cowboy Junkies. The box name is a song title by the Junkies, which we found fitting as we were traveling “miles from our home” when we planted this letterbox.

No one in sight for fifty miles,
Sleeping fields sigh as I glide across their spines.
If I can just reach the crest of that hill,
This whole day will tumble, out the night will spill.

The moon hangs like a question mark,
Pale as milk, bold as a promise.
When will you share these sights with us?
When will we hold you in our arms?

Getting There…

This box is planted at Warren Woods State Park, which is reached via I-94 exit 6. It is approximately 2.5 miles from the exit to the park entrance.

Clues…

From the back of the loop, walk the dirt road at 20 degrees, keeping an eye for a shaggy-barked tree standing at the right edge of the road. Red Pollard says it is a duo, but from where he stands, the Stilt insists it is a triple… guess it just depends on your perspective. Fifty paces further along, change course and follow the small footpath to your right. At the “T”, brave the unknown and continue toward the ravine, but only until you are about to stumble across the fallen Wilt. Find Red laying sidekick over the hiding crevice.
