This letterbox adventure is part of the “Life Lessons from the Jukebox” series created by Sprite and Highlander. They have graciously allowed me to adopt it.

Enter the Forest Preserve called “Glenview Woods” on the west side of Harms Road just south of Glenview Road. Park facing south and you will see a paved bike path to your left. Don’t go on that path. Instead, look across the grassy area for a dirt path that will lead you over a bridge. Go on that path. It is the Orange Trail. Walk over the bridge and turn left just over the bridge to stay on the Orange Trail. Continue walking for about .4 mile. (In case you do not have a pedometer you should pass the following landmarks on your walk: an Ecological Restoration sign, 1 Orange Trail Marker, 4 stone walls (actually these are very low to the ground and cover drainage pipes) and 2 large corrugated drainage pipes that do not have the stone coverings.) Once you walk about .4 mile, look to your right for a large fallen tree lying perpendicular to the path. If you are in the right place about 12 steps ahead of you, on your right there will be a very tall tree (about 125 ft.) that leans over the path pointing towards the creek. Across the path from this tree you should see the 4th stone wall (covering the drainage pipe). Back at the fallen tree – this letterbox is hiding in a hole at the base covered by some bark.

This can be a busy path at times so please be discrete and replace the box carefully. Also, you’ll need to bring your own ink.
