You will need to bring your own pen and stamp pad, green, grey or black is a good color. The size of the log will not accommodate a stamp that is larger than 2..25” X 4”. Log in and return the box to it's location and cover it back over.

Always take adequate precautions such as prodding with a stick and/or wearing gloves before reaching into dark crevasses and holes. Bug repellent is recommended. Watch out for poison ivy, I did not see any where I hid the box, but it is in the park.


Well one day I was out working in my Organic Garden Plot that the Urbana Park District manages and was having a terrible day. I do not know how to identify animals by tracks, but I do know what a deer track looks like. Inside my garden there were all kinds of deer tracks. Deer had been pillaging my garden! Fortunately the only crop that was ripe when the deer were in the garden was my jumbo onion. The whole growing season had been spent getting it nice and fat and now it was gone. To ease my agony I decided to take a walk along one of the park’s many paths and just try and enjoy the good weather. It helped, but not much. I had just passed the “prairie streaker” but not gone over the bridge yet when I heard something. From the sidewalk I looked towards the prairie and saw a deer running away from me down the grass trail with an onion in it’s mouth. Immediately I started after the deer and the chase was on for my onion. All of a sudden the trail came to an intersection and I had lost sight of the deer, but not before I saw where she had hidden my onion. The path I had chased the deer down forked in front of a tree, and she had dropped the onion between where all the branches emerged from the trunk by the ground. Eww gross, the onion was covered in deer spit, well I guess I better get it home to wash it off.
