Alive & well as of March 2007.

Placed by A-Bear.

DIRECTIONS: Take I-90 E or W to Mercer Island. Take Island Crest Way exit, turn North, follow the "small brown" signs toward the Luther Burbank Park. Start at the SE 26th St entrance parking lot (not the main entrance parking lot!!!-you might have to park elsewhere as the 26th St entrance seems to be closed to vehicular traffic indefinitely).

TIME: Roundtrip 20 minutes

DISTANCE: 3/4 miles roundtrip

DIFFICULTY: Easy

NOTES: Park is open from 8am-9pm (this may be seasonal). This park is ideal for children & pets. There is an AWESOME playground (one of the best in the area) and a nice little beach. Be cautious along a few parts of the trail near the water. I saw 2 bald eagles soaring above Calkins Point letterbox when I came to plant this one. Awesome!!

CLUES: I need your help to free me for a breather from this chimney. It looked so inviting as I made my rounds on Mercer Island that I had to jump in. Unfortunately I got stuck and will let down so many people in the world if you do not help me. The best I can tell from my location is that if you park in the parking lot, follow the trail along the eastern shore of this park along north to reach this chimney. Once you find the chimney towering high above you, stop at that mushroom kiosk and head west up to the large tree along side the bathrooms. There is a black box on the backside of the bathrooms which has the controls to help me. Complete your mission here and enjoy the rest of your day knowing you helped bring gifts to the world.
