Lakes Park is located at 7330 Gladiolus Drive. There is a parking fee of 75 cents per hour or $3 for the whole day. There is a lot to do at this park, so try to spend some extra time there. It's real kid-friendly! When I planted this letterbox, I rented a Deuce Coupe cycle from a fella at Lot A; $15 for an hour allowed my wife and I to plant this box, swap out the container for Take A Walk in the Park, grab a nearby stone, haul it back to this box, and still have time to explore the entire park. A fantastic afternoon!

The Snowbirds, Sand Dollars and Seashells Gathering will be held at this park.

Clues:

Upon entering the park, turn left and find the Information Booth, a small six-sided building on the right. Then find your way to the Train Village. You can't miss the ol' steam engine. Find nearby the bridgewalk that crosses/divides the lake. Travel on this all the way across to a T intersection. A left turn here will take you to Lot A and the Beach. You want to turn right and go by the dam. Shortly you will come upon a fork in the path; this is actually the beginning and end of a loop.

Take the left fork. Ahead, the path will wander to the left and then wander to the right, then straighten out for a stretch. Along this stretch, about halfway to the next turn, is an eight-trunked live oak. Light As A Feather is hidden in a nook in the center of the tree at its base.

Note that I covered the box with leaves and debris, THEN anchored it with a stone, and THEN covered all that with more debris. The box was, of course, sealed properly with the inner bags also sealed properly and neatly tucked so as not to interfere with the sealing of the lid.

Enjoy!
