The following letterbox is part of the GO York "Get Outdoors and Be Creative!" program. It will only be available between June 6, 2009 and September 7, 2009. To participate in the program, please pick up your official "Get Outdoors and Be Creative! Sketch Book at any York County library.
In addition, this program uses creativity stations - a wooden marker post with an engraved plate on it - instead of a traditional letterbox. Please make sure to have a crayon with you to carefully rub the picture in your Sketch Book. Further information about the "Get Outdoors and Be Creative!" program may be found at www.goyork.org.
This creativity station is located near the Conewago Day Use Area of Gifford Pinchot State Park. GO York Kids level of difficulty = 1
1. Start at the Interpretive Center (Whitetail Environmental Center) in the Conewago Day Use area
2. Look for the metal bike rack to the left of the center, and follow the gravel path slightly uphill into the woods
3. Look for the Oak Trail sign to your right along the main trail – you are on the right path!
4. Go beyond the group of boulders to your left, while looking for the large boulder on your right that looks like a chair
5. Continue past the “bent tree” and “Pinchot’s rocks”
6. Pass the “forest layers” on your left and turn right onto the path at the tree that looks like it is split in two
7. Stay to the right on the path to pass the Pin Oak tree
8. Continue straight through the trail intersection
9. At the next split, stay to the left through the cedar tree stand. Read the sign to your left to learn more about Eastern Red Cedars
10. At the end of the path, find your treasure next to the rock bench, amongst the stand of American Hornbeam
11. To return to the parking lot, either:
a. Retrace all of your steps back to the parking lot (0.54 miles)
b. While facing the rock bench and lake, turn to your right and follow the wide path as it meanders along the shoreline. This path will take you back to the Whitetail Environmental Center and parking lot (0.62 miles)
