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 may be accessed from the Hidden Laurel parking area of Rocky Ridge County Park. It is rated "easy" by GO York standards.
- Start at the bulletin board in the Hidden Laurel Parking Area.
- Follow the gravel path, keeping the playground on your right side.
- Stop and explore the new nature play space on the left.
- Just past the fence turn left onto trail #8.
- Follow trail #8 down the small hill.
- At the bottom of the small hill trail #8 makes a hard right just past the horseshoe pits.
- Continue on trail #8 to the deck. Look for lichen and moss on the trees along the way.
- The checkpoint is located on the observation deck. On a clear day you can see very far. Can you spot Three Mile Island and the Doppler radar in the distance?
- Follow the Fitness Trail and test your strength on your way back to the parking lot.
