The Walden Nature Preserve deserves some praise. It is so varied and interesting that Bluebird and Butterfly decided to lure you there by adding two tag along letterboxes to
the Tree Stump Box that is cleverly planted by Carol and friends. The hike follows the same directions as the Walden Nature Preserve Clues. This Preserve begins very low key and shyly shows off its beauty of rocks , forest., fields, and a river. What more could a hiker want?? ~~ Perhaps some letterboxes?? O.K.

Follow the clues for the Tree Stump Box and stamp “Bee Happy” , then continue on the yellow trail. Soon you notice a trail turning left marked with pink discs. We want to investigate that trail next. but now you stay on yellow. Watch for a large and wonderful ‘Riding’ Tree. on your right. If you can, jump up onto it and have an imaginary ride off into the forest. Look quickly for a stump due north. quite close. “Go Batty” The bat from Kids Day has taken up residence here. Stamp in even if you have before, because this is a new Hiding spot.

Then off you go, continuing on the yellow trail. As it breaks out of the woods into the edge of a field, you stay right on the red. [it also goes straight ?] Over the river once again, watch for a huge rock on your left. The foundations are near. After passing the rock,in about 50 steps , climb the mound to a paved plateau and walk through the small pine trees,[ the small pine trees are big now , so push your way through and ] turning right and face the two standing cement uprights. Look under the west facing foundation for the Big Rock Letterbox. Stamp in and be careful to hide out of sight. Tuck a rock in front of the box and continue on the red trail back to your car.

Pretty place, Huh??
