THE LETTERBOXING TURTLE


Locate the Meeting Point Bulletin Board (it’s near one of the parking lot entrances to the park).

From this bulletin board, head south southwest.

Pass the playground and continue to the water fountain.

From the water fountain, travel southwest to the next water fountain.

From second water fountain, head southeast towards creek.

Follow creek downstream, about 100 paces, until you see a tree with a birdhouse.

From that tree, approach the water and search for the letterbox under a fallen tree that spans the creek.
