Murphey's 1st Christmas Letterboxes --M is for Murphey

Since this was our Grand-daughter'sfirst Christmas as a Murphey, and since she needed a new Christmas Stocking (Making Christmas stockings has been atradition in our family) Not only have our children made stockings fortheir pets, I have made stockings for the Baby's-to-be. At one time I even made a Dallas Cowboy Football cleat for my Dallas Cowboy, Fanatic Fan son. unfortunately it disappeared after that first year. ?????????? This stamp is to commemorate all the time and effort that has gone into the making of Christmas Stockings over the years. And what better place than in a Children's forest?

This Box is plantedin theChildren's Forest at the Kiln In Leeds Canyon just west of Silver Reef, Utah. Exit #23on I-15 in Southern Utah at Leed's and go westto Silver Reef. See Map above.

Take Oak Grove Road to The Children's Forest at the Kiln.
Walk the Children's forest Trail until you come to the sign about "Shrub Live Oak.

You should be at or near a fork in the path. Take the right path and follow it until you pass a bench and come to a sigh about "Mormon Tea". Note the rock near the pine tree in back of the sign. Go there. Turn to the left and take 6 steps. You should see a pile of kichen covered boulders and smaller rocks underneath a bush. The black Pouch containing the letter-box is underneath two of the smaller rocks. Good luck and enjoy!
