A "Mooving" Tale
Somewhere in New Jersey
04/27/2001

No hiking required; 2 minutes from parking.
Who knew that a business trip could prove to be so tragic?

E. (it pains me to say her full name) rose to fame at the 1939 New York World's Fair. By the time the fair closed in 1940, E. had become its biggest star.

But, her career was cut short in 1941 when, on her way to an appearance in New York City, her custom 18-wheeler was struck from behind. She was rushed back to her pastoral home, but alas, her injuries proved to be fatal. She had chewed her last cud.

Poor, poor E. She was laid to rest in a beautiful field, near the water's edge. Though her gravesite remains to this day, the verdant fields of her youth have succumbed to modern times.

From her gravesite, you will see bushes jutting out from their orderly row. At that point, you'll find an old telephone pole. Carefully check behind the pole to the left of the rock, and you will find something by which E. will forever remain in your memory.



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.
