This letterbox is part of the GO and Build a Better World! program in Adams County. It will be available from June 3, 2017 to July 29, 2017. Further details about the program may be found at www.goadams.org.

The GO and Build a Better World! program requires you to search for up to 15 “landmarks” – wooden posts with engraved plates on them, instead of a traditional letterbox and stamp. Please use a colored pencil or crayon to carefully rub the impression onto your GO and Build a Better World! rubbing sheet, available for free at any Adams County Library.

GO Adams! level of difficulty = Easy

- As you stand in front of the Charlie Sterner building, follow the sidewalk around to the left of the building.
- Cross a short grassy area to reach the paved trail near the back corner of the building. This is the Biser Fitness Trail.
- Turn right on the Fitness Trail, carefully cross the driveway at the crosswalk, and proceed past the playground on your right and a pavilion on your left.
- When you reach the “Y” by the chin-up station, stay to your left.
- As you walk along the trail, you will notice a cemetery on your right. Stevens Run will also be your right when you turn a corner.
- Continue along the trail as it heads toward the battlefield.
- Look toward the battlefield on your right and, when you see a white house on the ridge, look off the trail into a small grove of trees.
- The post you are seeking can be found near a bush.
- To return to the parking lot, retrace your steps (0.82 miles) or continue to follow the Fitness Trail to the parking lot (0.93 miles).
- If you choose to continue along the trail, make sure you follow the path past the pavilion and turn left at the bathrooms. The trail will continue between the baseball fields.

Hike length: 1 mile
