*****Updated July 8, 2014. Log replaced and box replanted further away from the main flow of traffic to a log not nearly so decayed. Thanks to Team Pteradactyl for getting me out to fix it!*****
A couple of times every year, New Castle County used to host a jamboree-style camp out for any and all who wish to come. Although those days are gone for now, we can hope they will return with a better economy. We slept under the stars there for the first time the year this was planted and had a ball, but any day of the year it is a fun place to visit, especially for horse-lovers. With rolling pastures for the local police horses and others to graze, stables to walk through, and daily pony rides for the kids, horse shows some weekends, and even a mock frontier town to explore, it is a great place for horse-lovers. This is an easy, short walk, unless you stop to watch all the animals!
Carousel Park is located off of Limestone Road. Enter the park through the main entrance and begin your search on foot at the wooden horse head in the parking lot.
Follow the road downhill to the Kids' Carousel Corral and the miniature horse paddock. When you come to the pile of used hay, it is time to leave the pavement and hit the trail on the right. Say hello to the peacocks, rabbits and chickens on the way past.
Follow the gravel path into the woods. Continue in the same direction until you come to a bridge. Just before the bridge, turn right.
A few yards away, you will come to another intersection, this time with a trail lined with numbered posts. Do not turn, unless you want a detour to play some games. Keep going past the turtle pond. At the far end, cross the bridge on the left and take the trail toward the back of the pond enclosure. where the creek bends toward the pond, spot the tree carved in 1977. with your back to 77, look up the hill. Directly in front of you you will see a tall, sawed stump with the trunk lying uphill. SPOS behind the stump, under the felled log.
