Robert Louis Stevenson was a Scottish essayist, poet, and author of fiction and travel books, known especially for his novels of adventure. His most famous works include Treasure Island, Kidnapped and The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde. His characters often prefer unknown hazards to everyday life, and many of his stories are set in colorful locations, so its no wonder many people have enjoyed his books throughout the years. You can pay homage to him at Robert Louis Stevenson State Park, the site where he spent his honeymoon in 1880. The park includes a monument dedicated to the author and a five-mile hike to the top of Mt. St. Helena. You don't have to hike to the top to find this microbox, but if you have time it would be worth it.
NOTE: Always take adequate precautions (such as prodding with a stick and/or wearing gloves) before reaching into dark crevasses and holes in the wild. Before you set out read the waiver of responsibility and disclaimer.
