WELCOME TO ITHACA . ENJOY YOUR LETTERBOXING

Ithaca is a unique, small city in central New York (Tompkins County).
It is located on Cayuga Lake, one of the Finger Lakes formed
thousands of years ago by huge glaciers which left behind spectacular
gorges. Ithaca is home to 29,000 residents and nearly as many college
students.

The Cornell Plantations is an outdoor museum where you can enjoy over
three thousand acres of natural beauty adjacent to the Cornell
University campus. The botanical garden features fourteen specialty
gardens, and the campus collections contain many unusual plants for
horticultural study. The natural areas include bogs, fens, gorges,
meadows and woodlands, all protected for research and education. The
F. R. Newman Arboretum includes maples, oaks, flowering trees, pines
and other species in 150 acres of a park-like setting. To ensure the
health of the plant collections, and to preserve them for generations
to come, please leash and clean up after your pets, and do not
collect or remove any flowers, fruits or plants. (information taken
from a brochure)

DIRECTIONS:

Coming from the West by one of three route numbers (79,96 or 89), go
down a hill into Ithaca, and turn left onto Route 13 North. If you
are coming from the East on Route 79, go down the hill, and in
Ithaca, turn right onto Route 13 North.

Continue on Route 13 North past the Cayuga Heights Exit and the
Pyramid Mall Exit. Continue to the stoplight where you will make a
right turn onto Warren Road. Continue
on that road for a mile. At the four-way stop, stay on Warren Road
which will take you
past a golf course and down a steep hill to a stop sign where you
turn left. This road winds across a one-way bridge; coming off the
bridge, turn left onto Forest Home Drive.

Proceed for six tenths of a mile along the creek to the first parking
area on the left where you can leave your car.

CLUES:

Cross the road, and enter through the gate. Walking stright in at
first, make the first right. Walking stright you will come to the 1st
path. The path will be on your right hand side. You will see an
Umbrella Magnolia tree to enter the path. Go stright on the path and
cross a bridge. Continue on the path you will see a steep wooden
staircase at the end of the path. Go to the top of the stairs. Cross
the road and straight across you will see a clearing up the hill with
a wooden bench against a stone wall. The Ralph T. Reeve Bench.
Between 2 trees and 20 steps in back of the bench and on the right you
will find your path. Take 37 steps. On the right you will see your
big rock and tree. In between you will find me.

I live on Long Island, NY and was visiting my sister and had to plant
my first box here. A piece of me left behind for letterboxers to
enjoy. -Cindy
