This letterbox was part of the 2011 GO and Explore Your World! program, and was available from June 1, 2011 - September 5, 2011. Stay tuned for the 5th annual GO York program, to start in June 2012. Information about the program may be found at www.goyork.org.

The GO and Explore Your World! program uses checkpoints - wooden posts with engraved plates attached to them - instead of traditional letterboxes and stamps. Please carefully rub an impression from the engraved plate into your Passport (program guide), available at any York County Library.

This letterbox is located in Richard M. Nixon County Park, and is rated "moderate" by GO York standards.

- About 10 adult paces past post #3 on the left side of the trail, look for the woodpecker holes in the tree.
- Continue on the Quiet Walk Trail, heading up the stairs near post #5.
- Don’t forget to look at the trees tops for squirrel nests called dreys.
- You should find the checkpoint near the council ring.
- Continue on the Quiet Walk Trail until its intersection with the Hardwood Trail.
