This box is located at the park Nichols Green. This is a beautiful park with a paved walking trail throughout. It has numerous playgrounds and very nice covered picnic areas. It even has an absoulutely breathtaking waterfall. There is lots of green grass to frolic in. There is also a skateboard park there that is free of charge for you more daredevilish types.

To get to Nichols Green from Tyler:
Take Hwy 69 S. going toward Rusk. Watch for the brick sign that says Nichols Green on the left side of the road. The entrance to Nichols Green is just before Trinity Mother Frances Hospital.

Proceed into the park and go left into the parking lot.

To get to letterbox:

1. With your back to the parking lot go right on the sidewalk path towards the pavillion.

2. Follow the path on around the pavillion. After a little ways you will come to a big rock at a fork in the path. Stay to the right.

3. Continue on down the path until you come to a T in the path. Go right at the T.

4. Continue on down the path until you come to a bridge. Go across the bridge. Go about 7 paces from the bridge and look to your right for a trail.

5. From the sidewalk go right down the trail for approximately 24 paces. There should be a tree to the right.

6. Continue for approximately 10 more paces down the right side of the trail.

7. Turn right and go approximately 8 more paces. You should be on the back side of the tree you were next to earlier.

8. The letterbox is located at the base of this tree in a hole under some brush and a rock.

CAUTION: Before reaching into the hole please use one of the long sticks from the hole to poke around for any critters that might be there.

Please make sure and place the rock in front of the letterbox so that the rain will not wash it out. Please rehide well.

This box is also listed on atlasquest.com if you are tracking your F count.
