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 William H. Kain County Park - Lake Redman and can be accessed from the South George Street parking area. GO York level of difficulty = Hard

 From the parking area, carefully cross the main road – looking both ways.
 Once across the road, turn right and walk along the wood fence.
 When you reach the yellow gate, walk around it and follow the stone path along the top of the dam.
 At the end of the dam turn right on trail #1.
 Remain on trail #1 along the lake and as you climb a long gentle hill.
 Continue straight on trail #1, taking note that the trees should be much larger in size.
 The trail will cross underneath the power line and Interstate 83 should be on your right.
 Continue a short distance until the trail makes a left. The post you seek should be nearby.
 To return to the parking area, stay on trail #1 as it continues along the power lines before entering the tall deciduous forest.
 At the next Y in the trail, turn right on trail #1A.
 Follow this trail as it goes through the woods down the hill.
 At the bottom of the hill, turn left and following the trail until you reach the top of the dam.
 Follow the gravel trail back to the main road. Carefully cross the main road again to reach your vehicle.
