From the North: From I35-E, exit #463 (Loop 288). Turn (R) – south – onto Lillian Miller Parkway (will change names to Teasley Ln./FM 2181 – just continue straight), about 2.8 miles total. Turn (R) – west – onto Hickory Creek Road. . . (see below)

From the South: From I35-E, exit #458 (Swisher Rd/FM 2181). Turn (L) – west – onto Swisher Road (will change names to Teasley Ln./FM 2181) – just follow it as it curves and eventually bends to the north), about 4.8 miles total. Turn (L) – west – onto Hickory Creek Road . . . (see below)

. . . continue on Hickory Creek Road for about 1.1 miles. Turn (R) – north – onto Waterside Pl. and stop at the corner of Waterside Pl. and Baybrooke Dr. To the east, you will see the north playground trailhead at Cross Timbers Park.

Slide down the slide, if you like that kind of thing, and continue south on the trail. It is a nice walk on a well-paved, winding track through meadow and trees. You will cross a pretty little bridge along the way. At about 0.2 miles you will come to an intersection with a sign that shows the Cross Timbers region of Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas – one branch of the trail will continue to the right (south), but the one you want will turn to the left (northeast). Take about 38 steps until you come to a pole fence. From the southwest corner of the fence, look down at about 290 degrees. You will see a gnarled log with a hollow at the western end. Remove the rock and leaves and there you will find your treasure! Please reseal the box tightly; carefully replace the rock AND the leaves (they're key to it's privacy). Thanks. Please post your find and let me know how it is holding up.

After you find your treasure, go up the trail another 25’ or so. There is a nice gazebo with picnic tables and the trailhead to a more rustic walking trail. Enjoy your time. It is a beautiful park.
