* * * NOTE: 1 or more of these boxes are located on the Campground side of the park, which may be closed during the winter. You can walk in on the nature trails from the park side or from McGinnis Road, it will just take you a little longer. It would help to print out the trail map beforehand. * * *

These letterboxes are located at Holly Recreation Area in Holly, MI. A holly plant seemed like a logical thing to send you hunting for - can you find it? There are some diversions in your way…

Go 8 paces. At 270 degrees, look through an arboreal doorway, and see 1 very large tree with 2-3 trunks and 1 broken off. Your treasure is hidden in the crotch of this tree. But, alas, still not Holly – this is Hailey. (An image of the sweetest kitten ever.)

Go down a hill, where root steps turn to sand. At the very bottom, on the right you will see a curving line of rocks a short way off the trail. A fallen log points to the rock that hides your final prize – HOLLY!
