There are several stamps in this series but you won't know how many until you've found them all as they are all pieces of a larger stamp - like a jigsaw puzzle. The twist is that the stamps aren't in any particular order so you'll have to figure that out too! Although you might discover some hints along the way. They are all hidden in fairly closs proximity of each other so you can go back and stamp again if you need to. It's advisable to bring along some scrap paper as you might need to stamp more than once to get them in the proper order.

**The Trail:**
The boxes are on Springwater corrider which includes 16.5 miles of multi-use trail. The paved surface is 10' wide, with 2' wide soft shoulders on each side. The hard surface trail is designed to accommodate walkers, joggers, hikers, bicycles, strollers, and wheelchairs although some help may be needed to retrieve the boxes.

Some research of the clues should help you find where to start and what to look for.

Happy Hunting Loyal Subjects!

**The Clues**
Bell Street Station claimed to be
the starting place for all Train-ees.

Seven point zero gives direction
Now you're in the proper section

Walk over wood and right to the rocks
Look hard to find the nesting box.

Cross the street - Stop, look, be safe!
Walk in markings for this place.

The welcome wall, the table the stall.
Is a box hiding there at all?

Six point five might give a hint.
But don't be fooled, there's more to it.

At 320 degrees as the crow flies,
Down the narrow path lies your prize.

Under a rock that will never float
To the right is a Castle's Moat.

From path to bridge to nature park
Finding the next two will be a lark.

Approach the bridge at Tideman Knoll
The box waits in a Jester's hole.

Explore the park, meet Bumpity Tree
He hides a box - safe as can be.

Back on the main trail - stop, sit and ponder,
'cos these stamps aren't ordered, they tend to wander.

To the end, to the bench and watch the crew.
It's the worst of Portland as far as view.

The last box you find is really one in its kind.
From the bench, look over the fence,
to 115, look close in the green.
