A brief history about Euell Gibbons:
Euell Gibbons (1911–December 29, 1975) was an outdoorsman and proponent of natural diets, famous during the 1960s.
He had apparently longed to be a writer but had difficulty getting published. However, his first book, Stalking the Wild Asparagus, became an instant success in 1962, capitalizing on the growing return-to-nature movement. He followed this up with the cookbooks Stalking the Blue-Eyed Scallop in 1964 and Stalking the Healthful Herbs in 1966. He was also widely published in various magazines.
His publishing success brought him a level of fame. He made guest appearances on The Johnny Carson Show and the Sonny & Cher show. He was awarded an honorary doctorate from Susquehanna University, even though he had only completed the equivalent of a sixth-grade education.
The Post Grape Nuts cereal advertising quote "Ever eat a pine tree? Many parts are edible." is attributed to him (and inspired Carson to joke about sending him a "lumber-gram").
The cache has changed; is now key box but located in the same place. Will need to bring your pen to sign the log. Happy hunting.
