THIS IS A SET OF 3 BOXES, THEY ALL FIT TOGETHER TO MAKE ONE BIG STAMP. EACH PIECE IS HIDDEN IN A DIFFERENT PARK. WE ARE STILL WORKING ON PART #3. I WILL POST IT AS SOON AS WE FINISH IT. THANKS AND HAVE FUN!!!

TADAAAA! Part #3 is finished and planted! Yeah now you can complete the whole stamp.

Travel on Hi-way 19 South towards Palm Harbor, on your left is A. L. Anderson Park. This is a great park to visit and have a picnic or BBQ. They have individual picnic sites along the trail, each one has its own grill, trash & table right on the water.
Enter the park & head to picnic shelter 1, park right in front of it. There is no fee for this park. Take the trail on your left, shelter 1 will be on your right. Stop & enjoy the swings, cool breezes and water before you get started. Be sure to watch out for the gators though.
Once you pass the shelter make a right. Walk around to the opposite end of the shelter & make a left to take the "Nature Trail". A little ways on your left is the boardwalk. Take this out to the water & around--great place to see the animals. When exiting the baordwalk make a left & follow the trail. Go to the last set of stairs that lead to the lower level parking. Across from these stairs is an individual picnic spot on the water. We counted it as spot # 4. Another 16 paces puts you at a big dead stump on your right. Do another 19 paces. Get a drink at the fountain and on your right you will see a twisty oak. Look around & take a peek. At the bottom is what you seek.
This park is very busy sometimes so please be discreet when retreiving & returning thte box to its spot. PLease hide well. Thank you!


GATOR'S NEST PART #2

Is in Pasco county at Crews Lake. Take state road 52 East from Little Road or US19. Make a left on Shady Hills Road, this will be at a stop light after the freeway entrances. Follow Shady Hills down almost to the overpass. You will see the signs for Crews Lake. The park is on your right. There is no fee for this park. It is a beautiful park with camping, a playground and lots of pavillions & picnic spots. The Nature Trails & Bike Trails are great too.

Head back to Pavillion #2 and park here. Take the sidewalk towards the Pavillion. Just before the "Pavillion 2" sign make a right on the bike trail( the paved path). Follow it around & go past the "Nature Trail " sign, Pavillion 3, the restrooms & Pavillion 4. Keep going till you come to the stop sign. Cross the road & take the Nature Trail. After a few feet the trail splits, stay to the right. Go 15 paces and you will see 2 big oak trees, one on each side of the path. Take 9 paces to the left off the path. What you seek is buried in the center at the base of the tree under leaves & brush. Please rehide well.
