=============
Where to Start
=============

Once you park, look for the two bridges to the south, this is where your journey begins.

=============
The Clues
=============

Lexa the Trail Pup went for a walk recently in the park. You will follow the path she took. Start by walking over the two bridges (mentioned above) and turn LEFT onto the path.

Take this path across another bridge, this one is much smaller.

Near the water on the LEFT, you will see a bird house. Lexa ran over there and barked at a bird. The bird then flew away, this took Lexa off the paved path and onto a grassy trail on the RIGHT.

Soon Lexa lost the bird, but she saw another dog off in the distance. The dog was standing on a bridge. Lexa ran up a sandy hill and went under the bridge. But the dog was gone by the time she got there.

Off in the distance Lexa saw a tree of many trunks. She found that to be a good spot to “do her business”.

After that, Lexa heard the sounds of a train. So she ran down a path to the RIGHT of the previously mentioned tree. She keep to the LEFT and saw a train traveling to the north down the tracks.

Lexa tried to chase the train, but that was in vain. By the time Lexa stopped she came upon an open, marsh-like area with a lot of brush on the LEFT. In the near the middle of this area was a series of down trees and an old dead stump. Lexa went to sniff out the stump. Maybe you should too.

=============
Final Instructions
=============

Make sure to replace the box where found and cover it with leaves and sticks to keep it hidden. Please be discreet as you are not far off a paved path, often traveled on. When your done you can either go back the way you came or you can take that paved path. Head RIGHT on the path, then veer LEFT and if you follow that path you should return to your car shortly.

Send us a message to tell us of your adventure. We encourage you to find a good place in Mount Pleasant and plant a box of your own.
