The Pied Piper Letterbox

MISSING***MISSING***MISSING***MISSING***MISSING

This story is set in the small town of Hamelin, a beautiful mountainous region in Northern Germany. The Pied Piper was promised a reward if he could get rid of all the rats in town. By playing his magical pipe, he lured the rats out of their hiding places to the river where they would drown. After he completed his task, the town leaders did not want to pay him because he did it so easily. In revenge Piper was said to have blown his magical pipe to lure all the children out of the town, towards the river and then over the mountain range. All the children in the town of Hamelin disappeared and were lost forever.

This letterbox is located in the park of Hamelin, a beautiful hilly region in Northern Seattle. You will receive a reward if you park in the first parking lot and walk down the gravel path. You should easily walk down this path past one manhole cover, underneath some powerlines and then stopping at a second manhole cover. From here, go to your right and when the trail starts to climb the hill, stop. Look to your left for a tree of 3 approximately 30 steps away. The Pied Piper Letterbox is behind this tree of 3 and underneath a rock.

Please be discreet and replace the box well hidden for the next letterboxer to find!
