This letterbox is placed adjacent to Santa Anita Racetrack. I recommend parking at the Arcadia County Park as soon as you enter the parking area off of Huntington Dr while traveling northeast, just north of the golf course. Carefully cross Huntington Dr (Just the northeast bound lanes) and cut through the City Hall parking lot. Turn right on the sidewalk past the fenced in soccer field. You will come to a residence with six or so jockeys in their yard. As you pass their last iron horse, take 12 more steps and stop. To your right and about 12 feet in from the side walk is a tree, and in the hollow section about 5 feet up the branch that leans away from you is the box, hidden by a piece of bark. I had to approach it from the rear (Santa Anita Inn parking lot - patron parking only). Please be extra discrete, not to be seen retrieving or replacing box. I noticed a small hoard of recyclables in that area, so look good before entering area.
