Serve, Set, Spike!
You'll see that Johnstone Park is right next to one of Oak Creek's elementary schools – Cedar Hills. Built in 1965, Cedar Hills has a long tradition of school pride, so start your letterbox hunt at the symbol of the school's pride. (Hint: its also a symbol for our whole nation.)
Did you know, that there are over 280 species of simians living on Earth today? If you take 114 steps, you'll find the structure that's named after the 260 species of simians that are non-hominoid (humans are hominoids!)
A long time ago, the Algonkian Indians called the area we now live in "gathering place by the waters." The Indians may have picked the name because they used the area for tribal gatherings or because they observed how three rivers (the Menomonee, the Kinnickinnic and the Milwaukee) met before flowing into the waters of Lake Michigan. Find the first letter of this Native American word that they called it. (Hint: its blue and its big)
Next, go to the 30th state to enter the United States of America. This state became a state in 1848.
You may be able to see two fire hydrants from the state you're on. Go to the one that's just the left of the water tower.
Now, take 114 – the number of steps you took – and add it to 30. Then, divide the year Cedar Hills was built by the total number of simian species. Subtract that number from the first answer you got. This is the compass reading you need to face to find the Letterbox!
You'll need to be a real *ace* to find this Letterbox! Be ready to to *dig* though -- in the southeast corner of the court!
Hike length: 0.1 miles
