Time: Approximately 25 min. from Interstate 94
From Interstate 94 take exit 103 to Alexandria.
Head north on Minnesota 29, which becomes Broadway. Stay on Broadway past 3rd Ave. Notice the Runestone Museum on your left and wave to Big Ole on your right (3.4 miles). Did you notice the words on Big Ole's shield?
Continue on Agnes Blvd. until it ends (.7 miles).
Turn left on County 37 and continue to the stop sign (.2 miles).
Jog left, then turn right on Douglas County 22. Soon you will see Lake Darling on your right. Immediately after crossing the bridge, turn left on West Lake Cowdry (1 mile).
Follow West Lake Cowdry around the lake until you come to a stop sign (1.3 miles).
Turn right on County 82. Enter Lake Brophy County Park (1.1 miles) and park in the lot.
Notice the swings, the slide and the stairs leading to the lake. Go to the fire pit near the pump. Walk around the outside of the pit until the entrance to the pit is at 12:00. Look for the letterbox between the two pink rocks located at 7:00 near the bottom of the wall.
Please be sure it is carefully hidden after you stamp in, so it won't be found by non-letterboxers.
