8/14/06: Box reported missing. Unconfirmed by placer.
This box was created by Team Rabbit as part of the LBGLK Letterbox Exchange, 2005. I was originally going to place this box at Bendix Woods in South Bend, but every time I got up there it was either raining or the park was closed. Look for a different box at Bendix Woods soon.
Difficulty: Easy, approximately one mile with a few hills and curves. I forsee this trail to be very mosquito-y in the summer, I would advise bug spray. There are TONS of cool trails in this park for foot and bike traffic.
Clue:
Make your way to Imagination Glen Park. From IN-149 (near US 20 intersection), turn West on Lenburg Road to its end. Take a right on McCool Rd. The park is located on the right side of the road, right before the curve. Once you enter the park, you will be faced with a choice. Sinister is the way to go. Park in the large lot by the baseball diamonds and follow the asphalt path to the brown concession stand. At the concession stand, take a right on another asphalt trail that heads to a parkin
g lot. Once at the trails end, cross the lot to the Nature's Edge Shelter. From the rear left corner of the shelter, take a reading of 60 degrees to find your trail. Follow the narrow trail downhill, following the curve and staying on the main trail. You'll pass a swampy area and will head uphill to a fork. Take the trail to the left and you will soon have to make another decision. The red arrrow leads the way here. You'll come to a series of "hairpin" curves and will pass a tree with a red 9.5 on it. The trail comes to a T at a green arrow. Follow the arrow up a hill to yet another fork. You want the high road this time, and you'll see the green arrow pointing your way. Follow the trail until you come to a clearing. All the world's a stage! Look for the ramp on the right and you'll see a square hole at the top of the ramp. Reach in and the prize is hidden under the top part of the iron girder. After you stamp in, continue on the trail. You'll come to a fork in a field, head to the left and you'll end up at a T intersection. Take another left and you'll cross a bridge. At the next fork, take the low road and you'll soon be faced with 3 choices....you want the one that reminds you of a Jimmy Eat World song. It'll take you to the back of a shelter. Cross the soccer field and you should see your car
