Panic/Attack (Discontinued--see note below)
Somewhere in New Jersey
04/03/2001

No hiking required; 2 minutes from parking lot to box
NOTE (08/22/01): This box has unfortunately disappeared. But, don't panic--there are plenty of other boxes to find! We'll be leaving this clue up on the website as a permanent memorial to a bygone era.



On October 30, 1938, a radio drama caused a nationwide panic. The town where this drama unfolded is the town where you'll find the letterbox.

At a certain public park in this New Jersey town, there is a monument commemorating this phenomenon. Once you are there, look for the small boardwalk. When facing the water, go to the left side and look under the side edge of the boardwalk; the box is resting there.

While this letterbox is hidden in an interesting and historically significant area, it is neither remote nor secluded. Please try to be discreet when you find the letterbox.



And now, the fine print: Waiver of Responsibility and Disclaimer: Letterboxing, like any outdoor sport, carries the risk of various and unforseen hazards (including, but not limited to, deer ticks and poison ivy). The Perfect Circle Letterboxing Guild support a policy of not knowingly placing letterboxes in areas that will create undue risk to the letterbox hunter. However, as conditions may vary, it is the responsibility of the letterbox searcher to become thoroughly familiar with the conditions in the area to be searched, to adequately prepare for those conditions, and to conduct oneself safely and responsibly with respect to those conditions and with respect to his or her personal abilities and limitations. The Perfect Circle Letterboxing Guild and the individual letterbox sponsors assume no liability for events which may occur related directly or indirectly to one's searching for a letterbox. Do not let children hunt for letterboxes unsupervised. By reading and utilizing this letterbox clue, you acknowledge the above conditions, and accept responsibility for your own actions, and agree to hold non-liable the clubs and clue writers/box sponsors, and further, agree to provide this disclaimer to any person with whom you share these letterbox clues.
