A nocturnal predator has to move through the forest undetected. They need to see the prey, but if they are going to eat, the prey cannot see them until it is too late. Going through trees, over obstacles, crossing streams, and hopefully catching a glimpse of the prey is the goal of any nocturnal woodland predator. Your goal is to find the prey.


This is a night letterbox. You will need a strong flashlight. Please park in the visitor lot of the University of Michigan Health System - North Campus Administrative Complex at 2901 Hubbard. Move to the Eastern most part of the parking lot, shine your flashlight into the woods towards the East. You will be looking for small reflectors mounted on trees (they don’t hurt the trees). Holding the flashlight at eye level will give the best results. Once you see the reflector, walk towards that reflector, then the next one, and so on. The trail is close to half a mile. The last reflector in the series will have multiply reflectors, and the letterbox is within 10 feet. Stamp is a commerial stamp.

This letterbox has basically been set up by a 11 year old. You will be walking through the woods in the dark, with some hills, small ravines, a shallow stream crossing, and some fallen logs. We recommend bringing a friend, bringing some extra batteries for your flashlight, and using a walking stick if you have one. Take it easy, since the ground can be very uneven in spots and things can be buried in snow or leaves. It might also help to think like an 11 year old.
