This box is located along the trail around the Lafayette
Reservoir. Admission to the reservoir is free, however, you may have to pay to park. One quarter in the meter is 15 min. The total walk around the lake is ~2.75 miles and the box is located 1/2 way around. After you park you begin by facing the water on top of the dam. Start walking to your left if you are facing the water, this is the clockwise direction. Along the way you will notice some small brown wooden markers with yellow numbers on them. These markers tell you about a particular tree or vegetation of interest. As you begin your walk you will pass the children playground on the left, then some public rest rooms also on the left. Continue walking and you will pass "Marker 26" on your right. Stop and take in the beautiful view of the lake. Continue walking and you will pass another public rest room on your left. Keep going until you start heading up a small incline on the path. On your left you will see "Marker 18" in front of a big live oak tree. Stop here and look towards the lake. You will notice a small trail leading down to a fishing dock. Stop on the trail just before you enter onto the dock. Look to your right, and locate a tree that has some old markings "JRC" at eye level on the tree.
At the base of this tree, under three logs is the letter box "Hummer". You have found it! Enjoy the rest of your walk. A long the trail you may see some turkeys, ducks, deer, and even a Bald Eagle now and then. The main office has a list of several different birds that can be found in the area. Trout fishing is great too!
