This is a hybrid, being both a letterbox and a geocache. The container is a 30 cal ammo box painted to reflect its dual role. I am a geocacher who has done some letterboxes and this is the first letterbox I have made.
Go east on Rt 2 (Kirkwood Highway) At a traffic light (with Pizza Hut on right just past the light)turn left (north) onto Delaplane Ave. Go about a half mile to the cul de sac at the end of the road and park.
Now start you walk that will be about 0,4 miles to the letterbox.
1. First go west on the Delaplane Manor Spur trail (goes between two house) then goes north along side of yard
2. Cross a tiny foot bridge
3. Go east about 20 steps to find a new trail
4. Follow the new trail mostly east where you see a fancy back yard off to your right
5. Continue to slowly climb the hill as the trail swings NNW, then west where it crosses an old trail
6. Soon you will be high above the stream valley that will be off to your left. As trail goes north you pass a small rock cairn on the right and cross another trail.
7. Soon you will start to head east on the trail.
8. Directly ahead will be something very big and dark green.
9. Just when the trail curves sharply left and has a large bench cut section, leave the trail and head at 90 degrees
10. Go about 12 steps toward the dark green object
11. Look in the bottom hollow section of three-trunk tree
