The Spirit of St. Louis - Some Poison Ivy in the box area in the summer months - be sure to check.
The name of this gentleman who flew this plane across the Atlantic Ocean in 1927 is key to finding this box. Subtract the ‘h’ from the end of the name to find the suburban park located aside the avenue of the same name in a township just bordering Allentown, PA. The township at one time was called Salzburg, but the English corruption is Salisbury.
This park can get busy at times, due to little league baseball and soccer games. As the park is not very large, be prepared for a compass workout. This box can be tricky for the beginner, so please take that into account. :)
From the non-magnetic pole next to the pavilion, locate a magnetic twin pole at 200°. If confused, aim for the southwest one.
From the center of the charity stripe, go to a monument at 90°.
Subtract 15 from the years of service (when the monument was dedicated) and go at this bearing to a blue fountain (big thanks to Mr. Toe for pointing this out!).
From the center of the adjoining manhole cover, go 210 ° to a pine backed by green.
Go 260 ° to a bench of the same color.
From the bench center, go 230° to a small memorial. This gentleman was local to the area and fondly remembered.
Follow the path at 110°, going around the garden center ending up at the + (or X, depending upon your perspective).
From this spot, with the Y Tree at 132°, follow the path at 200°.
At the skip in pavement, proceed to a nearby tree at 120°.
Head to the pine at 110°.
Find the rough barked, bristly pine at 212°.
Finally, find the large non-pine at 85°, approximately 50 ft away. Find the SPOL out back.
Again, there can be Poison Ivy in this treeline by the McMansions.
