Glad to finally add to Team Springamajack's series!
Charles John Huffam Dickens: Feb., 1812 - June, 1870. Really...what DIDN'T Chas. Dickens write?: A Christmas Carol (my favorite & fitting for the time of year we planted this), A Tale of Two Cities, Great Expectations, Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, & on & on...
The recurrent theme in Mr. Dickens works was social reform, which helped bring about much needed change in the living conditions for the very poor in the mid-1800s England.

Using the clues from Poodle Circus's "Literary Greats: Wilde Thing" we'll use the "alternative shorter route": Take West Amazon to the end. Make left onto Martin St. & park near the small park. Walk to Canyon Drive (a short dead-end street across from the park)& up to the trailhead. Walk up the path & across the bridge.
Not too much further is Poodle Circus's "Wilde Thing" box, but keep going down the path to the end, where it intersects with a wider path & has a railing that overlooks the small creek & culvert on the left.
Walk past the railing & head uphill, which connects with the original "Literary Greats" path from the backside. Soon, come to a "Y" tree, on the downhill side, on the right. There's what used to be a three-trunked tree that is kinda stretching towards the trail, across from that, on the uphill slope, on the left. Look under the base of the "missing" trunk that is nearest you, under moss & debris. Tell "Chuck" we said Hi!

As always, please reseal & rehide & don't forget to RECORD your find!
