This stamp was carved and box planted in honor of Earth Day and as a reminder that everyday should be “Earth Day”. Protect the plant! Recycle, Reduce, Reuse! Keep America Beautiful! Pack it in, pack it out!
In this spirit, I decided to RECYCLE a stamp that I carved for a recent LTC card I made, REUSE the clues from a prior temporary box I had planted in this same park and REDUCE my need to think creatively to come up with all new clues and hiding spots! I hope you don’t mind!
Are you ready to find this box? If so, shut down all your appliances, turn off the lights, adjust your thermostat up a few degrees in the summer or down a few degrees in the winter, grab your reusable water bottle and head on down to:
Lake Erie Metro Park
http://www.metroparks.com/parks/pk_lake_erie.php
32481 W Jefferson, Brownstown, MI
Open 6am-10pm Daily. $4 per car (additional fees for wave pool, golf and boating)
Sorry, no pets on the nature trail!
Head into the park and follow the signs to the Marshlands Museum and Nature Center. Once there, you can park anywhere that suits you. (For a longer walk, park by the Wave Pool and walk on the paved Hike-Bike trail to the museum) There are some really cool fish tanks and marsh displays inside the museum. You should go check them out! I bet you’ll find a neat little trail map inside, too. Look around the museum for a bit. You can head upstairs for some cozy chairs and a nice view.
Once you’re ready to start your trek, head out the back door to find the mulch trail off to the left. There’s a boat dock here that’ll lead you astray, feel free to stop and observe or just head along the main path. Ohh, a cute little boardwalk bridge! Another overlook and a sportsman’s bench to distract you! Keep on going past the bench and soon another overlook pulls you away. Go take a look, or just keep on walking. Hundreds of birds singing and singing! Another boardwalk; another gorgeous view. Aren’t the flowers lovely here? Be sure to check out the view at the end of this boardwalk! There was a beautiful big heron down to the left a ways when I planted this box. Oddly enough, he was in the same place last year when I planted the temp box here. I guess he likes to reuse his perch! Is he there now? Head back to the main trail and keep on walking the way you were heading. Sit for a spell and hare your memories of the great Duck Hunters of the past. Continue along on your way; I think you’re getting close now! (Mmmmm, berries! Can you smell their sweetness? Better not pick any, though.) Keep walking along; straight ahead, don’t go left! I see another great resting spot for remembering fowl hunters. Another overlook down the long path to the right. Better not skip this one! At the end, you’ll spy another wonderful view of reeds and wildlife. Don’t you agree? On your way back up to the bench, just where the boards meet the gravel, look under the south end of the walkway to locate your prize.
When replacing it, please make sure the flaps are all properly sealed with no dirt or plastic baggies stuck in the seals. Please tuck the box back into place so it’s completely hidden from view.
When you’re ready to go home, turn right past the bench and continue along your way to finish your journey. Keep walking for a while! Don’t let that big black guardian scare you! Just one last boardwalk and your car should be in sight.
