Go to the boat launch in Zilwaukee, its a quick stop off of the Zilwaukee exit on I-75! (Take Tittabawassee Rd East until it deadends into Westervelt. Turn right (south) onto Westervelt and turn left onto Johnson. Cross two sets of railroad tracks and you are there.) Find the bike path and walk towards the bridge. Go to the fifth bench and sit down. Take in the scenic view of the Zilwaukee Bridge and the Saginaw River. Look straight ahead and find the tallest light pole on top of the Zilwaukee Bridge (hint: the tress have grown up some, so its view is kind of hidden) - walk straight towards it to the tree line. At the edge of the tree line turn right and walk approximately twelve paces. Find the large rock with the hole in it and stand on it facing the river. On your right, by the base of the rock, you will find the letterbox. Please be sure to reseal the box well and rehide it.

After finding the letterbox, enjoy the scenic view of the river & bridge with a picnic lunch in one of the pavillions or take a walk on the bike path (about 3 miles roundtrip), or use one of the fishing platforms to try your luck with a fishing pole. With any luck there might be a stone freighter off-loading across the river to watch as well. There are restroom facilities here also. For those of you you need a treat - try Nikki's party store (on Johnson) for ice cream or a sandwich.

5/23/09 - We are very glad that this box survived the winter months and didn't get washed away into the river with the melting snow! Thanks to everyone for keeping it hidden so well! Happy Letterboxing! :)

8/29/11 - We are sad to say that we cannot confirm there whereabouts of this box. We will replace one in the near future though. If you happen to find it, please let us know!
