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 is located at Richard M. Nixon County Park. GO York Kids level of difficulty = Hard
1. As you exit the front doors of the Nature Center, walk toward the U.S. postal mailbox and locate the boardwalk.
2. Travel along the boardwalk and once you reach the end, turn right onto a stone path.
3. Go across wooden bridge and follow the trail to the pond.
4. Stop at the pond and explore the area for creatures. Can you spot a turtle, fish or maybe a snake?
5. Continue in the direction you are walking. At the end of the pond, bear to the left, cross the wooden bridge and begin following the red/blue blaze trail markings on the trees. You will be following the creek upstream.
6. Turn right and continue to follow the red/blue blaze trail as it heads uphill including numerous sets of steps.
7. Continue to explore your surroundings. Can you spot or hear a squirrel running through the woods?
8. Near the top of the hill, turn left at the #4 green post.
9. The trail will leave the woods and head into a shrub/meadow area. Continue to follow the mowed trail through a tree line and into a meadow. A farm fence may be seen on your left.
10. Keep a look out for birds, especially bluebirds in the meadow.
11. Continue to follow the trail as it weaves through the meadow. Near the top of the hill (and near the 2nd shed in the farm field) will be a wooden observation deck. The creativity station is attached on the deck.
