Pull into the school driveway and park at the first circle. Your search for our letterbox begins at the sign for Silliman Circle. Make sure you are facing north when you are looking at the sign. Use your compass to help you turn to 60 degrees. Go across the grass circle and up the sidewalk. Turn right at the sidewalk and continue around the circle sidewalk and go down the set of stairs found there. Look left, look right and then cross the street. Walk until you are at the Giant Rock in front of the school.

This big rocck is surrounded by flowers, daffodils and lilies in spring and summer. Use your compase and face north, then to 100 degrees. Walk 31 steps, counting only each time your right foot hits the ground. You will reach a famous landmark. Stop and read it's history.

Face this famous landmark and turn left. Get back on the sidewalk heading toward the back of the school. At the sidewalk intersection take a left turn and then a right turn at the lamp post and big tree. Take another right turn on the sidewalk. Go to the 2nd lightpost. Turn left onto the sidewalk path and walk across the parking lot to the sidewalk. Continue walking across the parking lot to the lamp post. Face the lamp post and turn right. Go 38 steps, counting every step. This is Rosemary's Tree.

Continue to the basketball hoop and turn toward the school. Walk towards the blue double doors. Turn left at the doors and walk between the trees and the school. Find the "military" storage unit.

Go from the "military" storage unit to the picnic table. Crawl under the bench and turn towards the blacktop.

Move to a four square pattern. From there find your way to the world. Turn east on your trip around the world.

Stand on Chaplin and face South America. From there proceed to the basketball hoop. Locate the water well and walk towards it. Go to the Rhododendron Bush and look for fairy houses.

From your search of Fairy Houses. Continue around the back of the school and look for a place where frogs and turtles like to play. Go in through the opening in the bushes, once around the pond, turning left when you come out of the bushes.

Follow the wood line past the feeding stations to the giant rocks. Go to the rock furthest from the shed (there will be a fence nearby). Search behind and under the rock on the side closest to the fence. There you will find the Chaplin School Letterbox.
