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 Rocky Ridge County Park. GO York Kids level of difficulty = Hard

3. On your right will be a gravel path under the power lines, head down that path.
4. You will be walking down a hill, past a wildlife pond, and back up another hill. Continue on the path until you reach the observation deck.
