Last found/checked: 21-APR-07 - We found the remnants of the box and stamp, obviously ravaged by a curious animal. The critter didn't particularly like PZ-Kut, but did enough damage that the stamp will need to be recarved.
Time: 1-1.5 hours
Terrain: Somewhat hilly asphalt trail, then off-trail
This adventure begins at a place where skating can be enjoyed not only in the winter, but also year-round. It is located on a road named after another sport. Park in the lot, check out the facility if you wish, and then enter the trail from an access point in the northwest corner of the lot. The trail is not used much in the winter so it can be a bit difficult to follow if there is much snow. During the warmer months it is popular with bicyclists, so please stay alert.
This is the trail that a skater took one winter to find a place where he could get out to skate in the open air. When he got on the trail, he headed towards the rising sun. He carefully made his way through a crossing and then proceeded downhill, curving around an area that is quite up to par in the summer months. Eventually he followed the trail as it headed up a hill away from this area. He passed under triplet poles and then reached a post with the number “5” on it. A bit later he saw his destination in view. He continued on through another crossing with yellow gates and had an excellent view of the lake he would soon be skating on. With growing excitement he continued to the bottom of the hill until it began to curve to the right. At this point he noticed a smaller side trail that headed off to the left, beneath another group of triplet poles. He had been told that this path would lead to the lake access, so he walked to the cable on the berm that helped support the poles. From this point he took a compass bearing of 290 degrees and then walked in until a fallen tree blocked his path. From the fallen tree he took another 60 paces in until he saw a broken tree on his left. He continued on for 30 more paces, skirting a fallen tree on his right. He stopped between the fallen tree and another broken tree on his left and decided to take a rest before finishing his trek to the lake. You can find him in his resting spot in the lower cavity of the broken tree. After saying hello, please return him to his spot and cover him carefully so he can enjoy his rest. You can retrace your steps to return to your starting point.
