These little beauties have been carved & sitting around for a few months just waiting for the right time & place, so here goes.
They reside at Garden Lake Park (Creswell Ponds)in Creswell, OR. There are lots of interesting info signs. Great place to fish, if you're so inclined. These stamps look best in nice bright colors of ink, such as Lime, Peony, Marigold (just a suggestion :-)
From Eugene, Drive South on I-5 till you come to Exit 182 into Creswell. Take it & when you come to the lights, turn left onto the overpass. Turn left again onto Emerald Parkway, then left onto Melton. Park either at the parking lot with the large gazebo or drive a little further down the side road & park. Either way, find your way to the dock. Check it out! It's cool! (Even cooler if you fall off though!)

BOX # 1: Walk out on the dock, then come back. At the end of the cement "stoop", take the trail to your right. Walk 17 steps. To your right, notice the holly(or Oregon Grape?) tree near the clump of willows. In the center of the willow clump, reach around back & under, behind a rock & some debris.

BOX #2: (*This one has been relocated because of blackberry overgrowth at the original site)Continue on the trail around the pond. Cross the nice foot-bridge. You are now heading North along the Freeway side of the pond. Follow the curve to the right, heading East now. Keep walking along the edge of the pond & check out the side trails, if you wish, but come back to the main trail. Walk across the next foot-bridge. When you come to the 3rd & fanciest bridge (it leads to "Ritzy Mugglesville"), turn back around. Take 11 steps from the end of the hand-rail. To your left see a clump of small-ish trees. At the base of the clump is a mossy mound (root?) with a little "cave" under it. Around back is the next elusive little lady, under moss, sticks & rocks. This needs to be re-hidden as close to how you found it, as you can so that it cannot be seen! Thanx!

BOX #3:(Update: this is a re-carve & in a pouch, not box) Head back the way you have come. Round a bend to the left, pass a shed to your right. There is a "ledge" that runs along the hill on your right. Look under the South side of the first tree on the ledge, under the curve of the tree, and under "spor" & leaf litter/duff! Feedback on this, or any boxes is so important & appreciated! Thanx, folks!

If you haven't already done so, explore all the other ponds in the park & the many wood-chip covered trails there. Have fun & happy hunting! Hitchhikers welcomed!
