Clues to the Letterbox:
Park in the southwest corner of the lot adjacent to the wooded area. Stand facing the woods in the southwest corner of the parking lot (opposite end of the parking lot from the Delaney building) take a compass reading of 180. You will see a tree with a face on it 14 paces (28 steps) away. Go to that tree and go to the side opposite of the face and take another compass reading of 185. Across the lot, almost back to Champagne Dr is a very large tree with a large verticle hole in the trunk facing you. Go directly to that tree and look inside for your prize.

NOTE: Be extremely careful when removing or replacing this box inside the tree trunk. It is sitting on a very small ledge inside the tree and is very difficult to reach if it falls down inside the tree. However, if that happens, please contact me and let me know so I can rescue it.
As always, “recover well”!
