"Miracle Garden" Letterbox

This box is located at Mondauk Common, part of the Upper Dublin Township Parks and Recreation Department. It's a bit of a challenging location for boxing. I went to the park sight-unseen in order to plant, and I discovered that that's not always an easy thing to do!

Note: This box originated as a postal letterbox, and I planted it in the wild after it came back "home" to me. Just in case that matters to you...

Once at the park, find the brown wooden pavilion near the baseball diamond marked "Field 4." There are picnic tables under the pavilion and grills nearby.

You will see a dirt trail leading away from the baseball field and the white path. Follow that trail! Very shortly you will come to a wooden bridge, which you should cross.

Next, find a very faint trail on your right leading into the woods. The trail will get even fainter, so this box is not for the faint of heart. Continue to follow the path that looks most like a trail to you, always remembering to follow the "Leave No Trace" rule as much as possible.

Finally, you will behold a sight that is beloved by every Pennsylvania letterboxer... a downed log! Go to it. :)

This log was hollowish in the end, but not enough to hide this letterbox, which is on the large side. I opted to hide the letterbox UNDER the log, near the wide end. It is suitably hidden with debris, etc.

Please re-hide as you would your own box. I believe the box includes ink. It definitely includes several Swallowdale tokens.

If possible, please log your find on www.letterboxing.org and/or www.atlasquest.com. Status updates on the condition of boxes are always welcome, too. Check out the clue for "Who Knows?" which is also in this same park. Enjoy! Swallowdale :)
