Drive to the O'Donnell Park entrance to the Longview Bike Trails located at High Grove and Raytown Rd. Park in the very last parking area and start trail there. The trail is paved with several unpaved trails splitting off. Great for walking, biking, strollers etc! This letterbox as well as #2 are great for smaller kids since they are very close to the paved trail.
Walk/ride along trail until you cross over the first bridge. You will eventually come to a HUGE (about 3' in diameter) tree on the left where you'll see a dirt trail intersect. Stay on the paved trail and approx. 50 footfalls from the HUGE tree, on the right, you'll see a stump from a cut down tree leaning toward trail. Look to your left and you'll see a tree with lots of thin branches at the base and thorns going up the trunk. Go behind the tree and you'll find Bubby & Sissy's letterbox called "Spring Leaves" under some sticks and logs. Feel free to take a "treasure" but please try to replace it with another. Please be sure to replace the sticks and logs as this is a well traveled trail.
If interested, behind and to the left of the tree you'll see some man-made steps leading down the the creek below.
Continue along the trail for as long as you like. There are several exits along trail, but the easiest and quickest way back to your vehicle is to turn around.
