You know what they say, looks can be deceiving. I just left a place that looked quite peaceful and beautiful, but yet I know I was not alone and something just did not feel right about being there. As I walk for what seems several more hours I come upon 2 very interesting and yet ominous looking trees that seem to be watching me. I turn around for a quick look, but I don’t stay around here long. I thought those trees were weird, but now I come across an even stranger part of a tree, in quite an unexpected area. I examine it much closer as it has caught my interest. Has this tree done something wrong for mother nature to give it such a deformity I wonder.

Then it happens, as if being pushed, I plummet into a rocky pit. With stone walls all around me, I wonder how I will ever get out of here. I turn around and find what appears to be, well, a strange cylindrical shaped metallic object. This certainly has no place being here, but then again, neither do I. I contemplate on how to get out of here. I try to climb, but just can’t quite make it. Ah, a wooden pole. I didn’t see that here before. The pole appears positioned just right to get out of here. I hear the flutter of bats nearby and they appear to becoming closer, so I make my way up the wooden pole and out of my temporary prison.

Additional Information about this series:
--Each Letterbox contains a stamp, marker and log/stamp book. You can use the marker to colour the stamp or bring your own ink pad. Stamp the log book with your personal stamp. Stamp your personal stampbook with the stamp from the Letterbox. Bring your own writing instrument if you want to write any additional information in the log. DO NOT take the stamp.
--All containers are 500 ml or 1 litre jars.
--As always, hint is very specific, so only decrypt it if you are having trouble finding the Letterbox.
--Please make sure the container is COMPLETELY hidden and standing upright when replacing it.
--I recommend reading these pages and doing the series in order.

Enjoy your Journey!
