The second in our sprite series of letterboxes. Like her sister the water sprite, this little one is near the canal, but since she's quite near a tunnel, we knew she must be an earth sprite! ;-)
From the NYS Thruway, take the Medina/Pembroke exit #48A. Head north on Route 63 through Indian Creek, Alabama, the Iroquois Wildlife Refuge and Shelby into Medina's town center. The road wraps and winds, so make sure you stay on Main Street/Route 63! Make a right onto Center Street (Route 31, NOT 31A) and head east out of Medina for a few miles. Culvert Road is a left turn off this road. Drive a few tenths of a mile and the tunnel will come into view.
To find the sprite:
Head toward the tunnel, but do NOT go through. Take the gravel path on the left just before the tunnel and follow that up to park by the canal. Head east on the path, going past 3 telephone poles on your right. Take note of the 2 digit number on the yellow post just over the road below. Subtract 70 from that number and take that many steps past the 3rd telephone pole. Turn and face the canal, then walk to the water's edge. Our little sprite is hiding under a flat rock at the edge of the water, where no one will see her.
Please be sure to be discreet in acquiring and replacing this little sprite. Lots of people use this path for exercise and we don't want to get "caught"! ;-)
Bring your own inkpad & pencil and happy hunting!
