Between Carpinteria & Santa Barbara lies the tiny seaside town of Summerland, CA. Take exit 91 North or South from the 101 Freeway.
This trek is approximately 1.1 miles one way & includes one fairly big hill. The trails are very popular with walkers, dogs on & off leash & horseback riders. Be neat, be discreet.
ROXIE’S REST: Calle Culebra begins where Evans Avenue turns on a sharp curve to the left. Park where the road ends & step onto the trail in a little pine grove that has been recently trimmed out. Follow the trail til you come to a second small pine grove. Look to your left to the second pine tree. Check behind its base under the stack of fallen logs. Roxie II is waiting.....(Alas, after 2 years, the original Roxie letterbox disappeared in March '07. PLEASE, PLEASE make sure to cover her completely once you are stamped out.)
HOLIDAY in the PINES: Continue on the trail. A road will be on your left & a canyon on your right. The trail goes around a lazy right hand bend then forks directly past a huge Spanish Bayonet plant on the right. Turn left at the fork & go past a stand of junipers on the left. Cross Ortega Ranch Lane, then follow the trail uphill to Ortega Ridge Road. On your right, cross the road that leads into Ortega Ranch. Just ahead is another pine grove. Enter it where three rocks cross the path. Walk 18 paces, turn left, go 6 paces to the pine tree on your left, turn and face that tree; at 250° magnetic you’ll see a cluster of three rocks…5 paces from the tree.
Your Holiday awaits you at the center of the three rocks, under a blanket of pine needles.
EL NOPAL: This letter box was removed from the series on 16 December, 2010
POUNCE : Follow the trail for a short way til it emerges on Greenwell Ave. then head right downhill for 3/10th of a mile, past a long row of olive trees, then nopalitos. Pounce resides on the right, beneath a rock at the foot of a lone olive tree which has a stand of bamboo for company. Watch your step!
SWALLOW REST: Another half mile brings you to the bottom of the hill at the corner of Greenwell Ave. & Asegra. Standing at the very start of the gravel drive, with the Summerland Greenwell Preserve sign on your right, go to the exact corner of the rail fence on your left. You'll see a fairly big rock there. Behind it, under the fence rail’s bed of needles you’ll find a swallow resting.
