Several weeks ago, I planted what I believe to be the first letterbox planted in San Augustine County, TX. It is a drive-by placed at a historical marker on the Old San Antonio Road. The marker was placed by the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Placement date: Jul 13 2005
State: Texas
County: San Augustine
Nearest city: San Augustine
Number of boxes: 1
Clues:
The Zits LB is a tribute to the comic strip by Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman. It is located on TX Hwy 21 in San Augustine, TX. Early settlers came into San Augustine County on the Old San Antonio Road, also known as “El Camino Real de los Tejas”, now a designated National Historic Trail. San Augustine is the home of the first university, churches of all denominations, and the first American settlement in Texas. The abundant history in our area is evident in over 50 recorded Texas Historical Landmark homes and sites. San Augustine is located equal distances between Toledo Bend and Sam Rayburn Reservoirs.
From Hwy 96 in San Augustine: Travel West on Hwy 21 for 4.1 miles. You will see a place to pull off the road on your right hand side.
From Nacogdoches: Travel East on Hwy 21. When you cross under Loop 224, you will travel 27.4 miles. You will see a place to pull off the road on your left hand side.
To the Box: You will see the sign facing the road that reads THE OLD SAN ANTONIO ROAD with a stone marker in front of it. Go behind the marker. In the middle of the marker under the gravel is the box. Please replace as found and post a comment to let me know the status of this box.
