The Peanuts Gang in Joe Dancer’s Woods
The Peanuts kids came to McMinnville for a baseball game. If you come out to Joe Dancer park on almost any weekend or evening of spring or summer you’re likely to see their playmates throwing slow pitches, running the bases, or just standing out in the field waiting for popsicle time.
After the gang lost the game, they decided to explore the woods. Snoopy and the beagle scouts assured them he wouldn’t let them get lost. But wouldn’t you know it, they lost track of each other almost immediately and they are out there still. The Peanuts are in four clusters, with 2-3 friends in close proximity to one another.
The eleven boxes of this series were carved by seven different artists from around the United States. The whole route is about a mile of walking and 1-2 hours depending on your speed. It should be an enjoyable hunt for a small group or family as you can each find a box simultaneously and bring them back to stamp in together.
--------------------
The first cluster of them, Patty, Marcie & Spike set off to explore the woods at the NW corner of the park. If you want to find them, you’ll need to enter the park, take a left at the first traffic circle and keep driving until you reach the third traffic circle, the only one with a “Joe Dancer” sign in the traffic circle. Park nearby and follow the “One Way” sign up the bank to skirt a small forest on your right. Take a left and follow the line of trees for about 50 steps until you reach a trail on your right that will take you into the woods.
After just a few steps, you’ll reach a Y. Follow the right fork for 45 steps and you’ll see twin firs on your left. Directly across the trail are 2 small downed logs. Spike is sitting between them, waiting for a bus back to Needles, California. (Spike courtesy of Tdyans)
A few steps into the forest, you’ll reach a Y. Take the left fork downhill for about 25 paces. Here you’ll notice a rabbit path on your right. Peppermint Patty and Marcie thought they saw a bunny scurry down this path (the Easter Beagle?) and toward a stump. Patty was just sure the rabbit was hiding in the stump.
“I don’t think so, Sir” said Marcie as she went around to look behind the stump. You should be able to find the friends there still.

--------------------------
The rest of the Peanuts took an entirely different route. They started at the baseball fields on the west side of the park. If you drive back to the park entrance and stay right this time, heading as far back as you can go, you’ll come to the backstops. Park right next to the four handicapped spots if you can. Then off to your left you’ll see three young trees on the edge of the woods. Take the trail between the nearest two.
Schroeder and his buddy, PigPen, liked the look of this trail. Try as they might, they couldn’t shake Lucy,
“This is not the path I would have chosen! Hey! How come you’re not listening to me?”
Before long the boys and Lucy came to a giant downed tree.
“That looks kinda like a giant squid!” said PigPen.
“If it were a squid, maybe it would eat her!” Schroeder nodded toward Lucy.
“No, no, X marks the spot! Don’t you see - we’ve found a treasure!” exclaimed Lucy.
Schroeder liked the idea of treasure so he followed the left hand stroke of the X to the spot where it met up with a three-trunked maple tree. Under the X stroke at this spot, he decided to look for the treasure.(Schroeder courtesy of the Peas)
Lucy was certain about the treasure Schroeder would find. She found a podium in back of the three-trunked tree to announce the discovery. (Lucy by Murray7)
PigPen went off to explore the giant squid tree and found that one of it’s tentacles was hollow! Find the hollow tentacle and you’ll find PigPen.

Linus and Sally went for a walk. After the baseball game they headed north toward the soccer fields. Linus was explaining to Sally how she could tell a filbert from a maple tree, and the best way to avoid poison oak. Woodstock found it an interesting conversation and fluttered along behind them unnoticed. They traveled along the path between woods and grass until them came to a whoopy bump and the letter S. “S for Sally!” Sally exclaimed throwing her arms wide and nearly knocking Woodstock out of the air.
The kids turned right at the “S”, then right again and climbed up 5. At the Y in the path, Linus thought it would be a good idea to go left. Sally and Woodstock, of course, agreed. After about 30 more steps they came to a comfy sitting log that crossed the trail. Woodstock decided to have a nap and he found a nest in the crook of a 6-trunked tree that you’ll spot at 280 degrees. (Woodstock by the Peas)
Just past the log, Sally thought she spotted a caterpillar and she took the fork to the left. After about 7 paces, she saw it crawl into a clump of young maple trees on the right, and she followed it. (Sally by Murray7)
Linus sat on the log across the trail for a bit, watching the shadows in the leaves above. But when he heard Sally calling for her “Sweet Baboo” he darted off on the fork to the right. In just a few steps he noticed a stump on the left and went to hide at its base.

With no one left but his faithful dog, Charlie Brown went looking for his friends. Of course he went in the wrong direction, taking the bark-dust path for quite a long walk toward the Southeast corner of the park. Shambling past huge stands of blackberry bushes, he wanted to call out for his friends, but he felt kind of wishy-washy. He passed a sign that said “Dry Weather Trail Only” but he kept on going. Finally he reached an unmarked trail on the left. It looked like a well-traveled trail so he headed into the woods. Snoopy followed him hoping for some supper.
About 200 steps down this main path they came to a place where a giant mossy log joined them on the west side of the path. Behind it was a second story log. The closer log looked like a good place to stop and think about things.
“Why am I such a blockhead?” Charlie Brown thought.
“Why doesn’t the round-headed kid give me some food?” Snoopy thought.
“Ow! Why did I sit down on the only sharp broken branch on the log? Good Grief.”
“Maybe there’s some food under this log.”
Snoopy began to sniff around under the log behind Charlie Brown, and he must have found something, because he stayed there. (Joe Dancer Snoopy by Murray7)
Charlie Brown got up and started back in the direction he had come. But just as he reached the spot where the path veered away from the log, he thought he saw something. There was a maple tree just behind the log and he spotted a bird’s nest of mud and straw on the SW side. He settled down at the base of the tree to wait and see if the birds would come back, and maybe his friends too. If you’d stop by and visit him, I’m sure you’d get that famous Charlie Brown smile.
