This letterbox is part of the GO York Kids Get Outdoors and Be Creative! program. It will be available from June 6, 2009 – September 7, 2009. Further details about the program may be found at www.goyork.org.
In addition, the program uses creativity stations – wooden posts with engraved plates on them – instead of a traditional letterbox and stamp. Please carefully rub the impression from the engraved plate into the program Sketch Book, available at any York County library.
The letterbox may be accessed from the Conewago Day Use Area at Gifford Pinchot State Park. GO York Kids level of difficulty = Easy
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)
