THIS BOX IS CURRENTLY INACTIVE. Welcome to the first Walled Lake Outdoor Education Center Letterbox. This is a trial page, so the actual box will be placed by the end of June. We are using this hunt as a trial for future groups who use our center. Thank you for your patience. Make sure you put on your bug spray first!
CLUES!
Your team will start where students go to let everyone know it’s chow time. Pull down hard on the rope, let go and cover your ears! From here, walk to the spot a weary hiker may rest their feet under the shade of a Wild Cherry Tree. I don’t think you will need to rest yet, so walk 130 degrees South. Look for a sign that directs you to the Chief Pontiac Trail. Once at the sign, follow the tree line 50 degrees North for 42 paces. Look for a small trail on your right hand side. Take the trail (100 degrees East) for 35 paces until you meet up with a new trail.
Turn Left if the Bluebird is our state bird. Turn right if our state bird is the Robin.
Follow the trail to the bottom of the hill. You may have to go up or around a few trees. At the bottom of the hill you will meet up with a main trail.
Turn Left if a raccoon is an omnivore. Turn Right is it is a carnivore.
From here walk down the trail until you come to a large oak tree on your left hand side. This is George (Washington), the Father of the Forest. Directly behind George is his deceased wife Martha. Follow the small trail behind George, look for his wife and your first treasure on the hunt. Please take only one and save some for your fellow Letterboxers.
Get back on the main trail and head across the boardwalk 150 degrees South. You will walk until you see a Sign Post with the numbers 18/19 and 10.
Go Straight if you have seen frogs are reptiles. Go Left if frogs are amphibians.
At the small T-Junction on the trail, turn Left and walk until you see a huge Maple on your right hand side. From the Mother of the Beech and Maple forest walk 138 degrees Souteast. Walk until you cross a board walk over a wetland area that is the breeding ground for much life. At the end of the boardwalk, walk 120 East for 45 paces until you come to the base of a Huge Beech Tree. The 2nd treat is at the base of the tree.
Now that you have your 2nd treat, you need to turn around and walk back to the large Maple tree. From the Maple tree you will be heading back on the Main Trail towards George. (If you were walking a straight line, it would be about 15 degrees North).
When you get to the base of George, walk 18 paces until you see a small trail on your left. Walk this trail until you see a uniquely different COLORED tree then the others in the forest. This type of tree has been used by Native Americans to make canoes, pots, and homes.
From the tree, walk 310 degrees north until you see a large movable ladder. Walk to the ladder. Then heading 80 degrees East, walk 46 paces until you see a small path on your right hand side. Use this path and look for the entrance of the bee hive. Here you will discover your last sweet treat. This treat came straight from the hive!
