LOST.

You will need a compass, and you will need to differentiate between a
pace and a step.
Go to Riverbend Park, follow the signs to the Nature Center and park in the lot.
Find the Paw-Paw Trail and follow it across a footbridge to a service road. Turn right on the road and follow it downhill to the River Trail. Take this trail upriver for 12-15 minutes till you come to a creek. Cross the creek and walk about 80 paces (closer to 95 paces when the new bridge is finished) till you come to a small, sometimes hard-to-see path bearing about 178 degrees, almost due south. Follow this path for 14-15 paces to a double-trunked tulip tree with a horizontal scar about 3.5 feet up its north trunk. From this tree, walk on a heading of 158 degrees about 25 paces to a tall sycamore. Now take a bearing of 38 degrees and walk about 14 steps to another large sycamore. Who Cooks For You? is at the base of this tree on the north side under sticks, leaves and sycamore bark.
