Doggone It! Dog Series

“Callisto” box
*note - we are going to go out and verify this box this week- will update shortly if clues still fit and box is still there. thanks! *

This box is the second in a series called “Doggone It!” The purpose of these “Doggone It” boxes is to provide letter boxers who bring their dogs letterboxing quests that are dog-friendly, i.e.: dogs are allowed on the trail.

The Callisto box is created in honor of Callisto (Callie), Dan and Rachel’s yellow lab. We adopted Callie from the Portage County Humane Society, which was housed right next door to Bukolt Park. Before we decided to adopt her, we took her for a walk in Bukolt and that is where we realized we were meant to adopt her.

Clues:
Take Business 51/Division Street North through Stevens Point. Turn left (west) onto Fourth Ave. Take a right onto Second Street. Take a left onto Bukolt Ave. Follow that to the end and you will go under the stone arches welcoming you to Bukolt Park. Drive by the boat launches on the left, then park in the parking lot on the right, which is bordered by large rocks and wood posts.

Start at the white “house” which is at the south end of the pond. You will know you are in the correct place because there are two park benches and a small garden nearby. Count the number of doors on the white “house.” This answer is (Answer A) __ . Take Answer A and find the same number of large rocks. Follow the large rocks south. Go the “wrong way.” Start walking down the “wrong way”, but watch your speed! Frank the President wants you to add the two years together, then subtract 3800.

This answer is: Answer B___ ___ .

Face this (Answer B) __ __ compass direction ( º ) and head to the parking lot in that direction. Don’t get wet!

Fill in the last two numbers of the year under the WPA.
This answer is: (Answer C) __ __ .

Head to the horseshoe pits and find the only one with the brown board. Stand by the stick in this pit and using answer C__ ___, head in that compass direction ( º ) towards the “water.” When you reach the “water”, take 2 steps west. Go North (Answer B)
___ ___ steps. On the east side of the trees that are joined together, there is a metal post. Continue to the east, following the fence, for 8 posts. In front of the 8th post is where you will find the “Callisto” letterbox!
