Letterbox Clues:
This box is part of my “Til Death Do Us Part” series. Each box is/will be planted in an old, interesting cemetery in Southeast Michigan. Each box is a tribute to of one of my favorite movies/tv shows in which death somehow plays a major part, although this does not necessarily mean it is the main plot. I am not intending for this to be a morbid series, by any means. I find it fascinating to read the stones in old cemeteries. Please try to appear that you have a reason to be here, pay attention to the all of the stones (not just the ones noted in the clues), stopping to observe them along the way. I hope you enjoy the series and your visit to these historical treasures.

Before you head out…
Solve this simple cryptogram to discover the movie that is the subject of this box:


VODDG HUKKID OYJ KVI NUXFIK UC CEDI

Hint, the cryptogram “key” is the same for all boxes in this series. Before searching for this box, you will need to do some research on some of the actor names, character names, actor birth dates and other information that can easily be found on the internet in a movie database. It is not necessary to watch the movie before searching for this box. Although, it would enhance your enjoyment! Plus, it’s a good movie, so watch it anyway! ;)

Box Notes:
This box is completely airtight and water proof when closed correctly. Please take care that there is no plastic or dirt between the lid seal and box. Snap all four latches completely when closing.

Please do not place this box inside of a plastic bag.

The log book in this box is a little on the small side, if you have more than one “hunter” with you, please try to have everyone stamp on one page, if possible.

Note, there is no pen or stamp pad inside of this box! Remember to bring your own! Black ink looks best!

This was a large stamp and I was having a hard time getting a good image when stamping in “optimal” conditions. So, I cut the words off and made two separate stamps for better results.

Please do not place hitchhikers in this box unless they are small enough to allow the lid to be sealed completely when closed.

Thanks for visiting!
