We've had some reports of this box being missing, but I'm pleased to report it's alive and well as of 3/14/05! Please hide well after finding.
UPDATE: May 11, 2008 - ***** THIS BOX IS MISSING!!! Sorry!! Forgot to update on this site! Not sure when it will be replaced, as neither of us are in Bellingham anymore.. *****
Difficulty Level: Easy (mostly accessible for handicapped individuals, though not entirely)
Introduction:
Bellingham is a city built on a vast network of old coal mines. Some tunnels still exist, even under downtown, but their exact locations are lost to history. While preparing to construct a new building south of town, an entrance to one of these old mines, flooded with water, was accidentally unearthed. This box is a tribute to the devoted coal miners of Bellingham.
Directions:
To get to Boulevard Park, take I-5 to exit 252 and head west on Samish Way.
Take a left onto Bill McDonald Parkway.
Take a left onto 21st St.
Take a right onto Harris St.
Take a right onto Boulevard St.
Look for the signs to Boulevard Park on the left and follow the road down and across the train tracks toward the water.
There is free parking, but it might be tough to find a spot on a really nice day. Street parking up the hill is an alternative. The park features a lovely view, a playground area for kids, and plenty of romping area for dogs! Watch out for the college students playing Frisbee!
Clues:
The train cars of miners, dirty from a long day at work, rolled down the track along Bellingham Bay, high above the water. They passed the footbridge leading high up over the tracks, and stopped just beyond it on the north side, where men climbed out of the cars. Jim Coalman started his walk north along the gravel path, admiring the trees as he headed home. He didn’t get far, only a few boxcars’ lengths (about 80 paces) beyond the end of the fence, before he took a small detour east up a steep slope. Here he sat a few moments on a seat in the trees to take a rest and admire the view. Unfortunately, while his mind wandered, he forgot his lunch pail! It must be near where he was sitting. Perhaps you can find it!
