GO and Experiment! - Balance LbNA #66911 (ARCHIVED)

This letterbox is part of the GO and Experiment! program. It will be available from June 1, 2014 - August 17, 2014. Further details about the program may be found at www.goyork.org.

Through the GO and Experiment! program, you will be searching for "scientific terms" – wooden posts with engraved plates on them – instead of a traditional letterbox and stamp. Please carefully rub the impression from the engraved plate into your GO and Experiment! rubbing page, available at any York County library.

The letterbox is located at Rocky Ridge County Park and can be accessed from the Wildlife Parking Area. GO York level of difficulty = Hard
