For Emily, our dear little angel
The trail where this box is placed is special to those that love Emily’s family as it is here that Emily’s mom and her friends started walking (and talking) during a time of grief and then of exceptional healing. Thank you for sharing in our journey.
-Tami (Emily’s mom), Gayle, and Karen

Time: A little over an hour, if you walk at marathon pace!
Length: Four miles total, from parking lot to box and back.
Difficulty: Easy, flat walking on an old railway bed.

Ready for a long walk? (or bring your bike, if you prefer) You’re in for a 4-mile trek on the La Crosse River Bike Trail near beautiful La Crosse, WI.

Directions to the trailhead:
From I-90 take 157 South. Take Hwy 16 South and then take a left on County Road B. Take a left into the parking of the bike trail. If you pass the Valley View Fitness Club on the left, you’ve gone too far.

Clues to the letterbox:
Walk into the rising sun toward West Salem; but not over the railroad tracks. Count nine bridges. After the two-mile marker, stop on the ninth bridge. Look under the bridge on the southwest side, between the steel and the concrete you will find the box! Take care to seal the box tightly and put it back where you found it, and try not to let other walkers, runners, and bikers see you. Retrace your steps to return to your car.

Enjoy the bike trail! Continue east to West Salem and Sparta or go west to get on the connecting Great River and City trails. If you see three women walking together and laughing, it’s probably us.
