Hemmed in Hollow Letterbox,
Arkansas, USA
 Clues: Trail
from Compton and hwy 43 was in excellent condition and recommended. Hiking
down to the falls was easy but difficult and exhausting saving yourself
back out (all uphill, few level or downhill surfaces). It is a 2.8
miles oneway hike. Accessibility: land or water, three trails available
via Compton on Hwy 43 (blink and you'll miss it!), three mile hike from
either Steel Creek or Kyle's landing (longer but easier if you're less
in conditioning).
All trails lead to box inside the canyon. Obvious resting or lunch rock (flat) is your starting point at the falls. With falls being magnetic north on the lunch rock, spin 160 degrees relative, up hill within 20 paces is a HUGE rock pitted with water holes. Atop is a medium tree with hole at base. Remove cover from hole and box is inside. PLEASE look for critters first before reaching. Probe with stick if you like. Please replace box and cover as previous found. NOTE: This is a very public place and it is unlikely you will
have the area to yourself. So please be discrete in your activity,
you may have an audience. Enjoy the hand carved stamp as it will dictate
Hemmed in Hollow, a well earned stamping! Best regards and happy
letterboxing!
Before you set out read the waiver of responsibility and disclaimer. Terrain: Good trail from hwy 43 or from river via float.
