The following letterbox is part of the KAZ Kids "Catch the Activity Bug" campaign. It will only be available between June 7th and September 1st, 2008. To participate in the campaign, please pick up your official "Catch the Activity Bug" Field Guide at any York County library. Please remember that all Field Guides must be turned into your local York County library no later than September 12th to qualify for prizes.

This letterbox is located in Heritage Rail Trail County Park. Access is best from the Brillhart Station parking lot. KAZ Kids level of difficulty = 2

1. From the parking lot, follow the macadam path to the entrance of Heritage Rail Trail County Park.
2. Enter the rail trail through the red gate and head south (right turn).
3. As you follow the trail, you will pass several houses on the right and pass through another red gate.
4. Keep an eye out on the left side of trail for roosters, turkeys and possibly foxes in cages.
5. Continue on the trail, looking for a white historic railroad marker with “52” on it.
6. The trail in front of you is a long, level straight away. Keep heading south.
7. Look to your right as the creek may be visible in the distance.
8. Continue on trail past a picnic tables and two benches.
9. Up ahead you will notice railroad crossing signs, where the trail crosses the railroad tracks.
10. Before crossing over the tracks, look for a drainage inlet and the beginning of the barricade fencing directing you across the tracks.
11. Look to your left. The letterbox can be found concealed in limbs and leaves directly behind the inlet.
