As of the 10th of February - this letterbox is missing. It will be replaced as soon as possible.

Mission City Memorial Park – Santa Clara, CA

You should park on Winchester Ave. in front of the park. There are several entrances- so be careful to pick the correct one. Dogs are allowed on a leash. It is best to go later in the day or if possible, after the 5:00 PM closing time when there are very few visitors. Also, there are automatic sprinklers that turn on without notice, so be prepared to get out of the way!

Enter by the home for the infirm

And travel straight ahead to see what you can learn

The red fence will guide you

Make the first left that you can

Start your trip at the “S” to learn about the “man.”

Passing section “P,”

The Oaks drape the sides so gracefully

Soon you will pass a sundial

Stop to check the time and rest awhile

Pine trees now line your way

You’ll see the maintenance house just a few yards away

On the other side – the field of grass

A place of rest for the future souls that pass

Continue on around

Note the different names that abound

The massive eucalyptus trees stand proud

In amongst the long gone crowd

Past the “Greeks” and watering hole

Continue on sweeping to the left my dear soul

Remember always take the perimeter path

And thus you will succeed with a little math

Under the canopy of trees

Along side the puddles of leaves

Keep walking along the outside path

Less you incur his wrath!

Turning to the right and left and left again (when you must)

Past Kidder, Emerson, Henderson, Allen and Smith

Follow along as it is the final thrust

The path forward will finally end, and a turn to the right

Is the final path of the night

Just 53 steps and you will find him – Solon Flack

Facing Winchester – the gentlewoman weeps on his plaque

But continue on to the cherub circle and look to the back

You will see a magnificent California pepper tree

Look along the knurly trunk; you will be sure to find me!
