RETIRED AS OF 10/14/2008 - BOX IS ALMOST CERTAINLY MISSING.
This box was created and carved by Bookworm, who loves whippets. I wanted to find a place where someone with a dog or dogs could let them run about so went up to this green space near my home where there are hardly ever any people even on a nice day. Looks like it might have been a maintained city park at one time, but this day in April 2007 it is gated and only accessible by foot. Take 103rd heading south off of S.E. Division Street and drive until you have to park in a small area off the side of the road at a gate. Be sure to do some research before you go or you might miss out on more than this box. I hear there might be others up there...

Walk up the road beyond the gate until you see two cyclone fence gates. Go through the one on the right and head up THAT hill. Maybe your dog has quit prancing about by now. I was certainly not prancing at this point. You will cross a small former parking lot with actual lines for the parking spots. Don’t you wish you could have driven up here and USED this lot? Find and stand on a cement slab that holds a post that used to hold one of the swingarms of a green gate. At about 120 degrees off in the distance you will see a nice dirt trail going, yup, UP the hill. On this trail you will pass a point past which motorized vehicles are not allowed. Watch for two really big firs on your left within loud-talking distance from one another. At the second is a small junction of sorts, but don’t be tempted to go downhill there, more UP! On ahead, at the Y head uphill. At the junction where you find the singlet in front of you and the triplet to your right, head left. When you come to the geodetic survey marker, spot three trees growing out of one base at about 290 degrees. These three trees are guarding the box. If you and your dog(s) are tired, sit a spell and read them a story.

Please hide the box well when you’re finished stamping in, and possibly put something on top to weight it down before you cover with duff and leaves and sticks and such.
