The address for this park is 1851 South Melrose Drive, Vista, CA. If you look up the directions anywhere online, it will only tell you how to get to the general area on South Melrose where 1851 should be. That will get you close enough. Here’s what you need to know more specifically: follow the online directions to S. Melrose. When you get toward where 1851 S. Melrose should be, look for Shadowridge Drive (which intersects S. Melrose) and make a right on Shadowridge Drive. You will drive past some baseball diamonds and come to a small street called Antigua. Make a left on this street and that will take you into the parking lot of the park. There is a duck pond here as well.
Wooly’s Letterbox
This is the first letterbox I ever planted. Wooly was living in the LaBrea Tar Pits in Los Angeles for a long time. However, security guards kept throwing him away and finally his home was destroyed by gardeners (curse them!). We took him in and he was living in our home until we found this new home for him here in San Diego.
Enter from Gate “A”, the yellow gate nearest to the parking area.
Continue walking until the path forks; take the path the goes UP the steep hill. When you get to the top of the hill. There will be a large boulder in front of you; take the road that goes left toward the other hill. You will pass a gray and brown painted rock on your right. Continue to walk through the “burned field.” When you reach the fork at the peak, take the left road.
Walk about 20 yards to the gigantic shrub in the middle of the road. Look toward the “Twin Towers” on the horizon. Then lower your gaze from the towers to a brown-grey large boulder. Walk to the boulder. When you get to the boulder, there will be another path that goes left to another set of 3 smaller boulders. Behind the most craggly boulder are some rocks; Wooly is hidden there (beware of some broken glass in this area).
Summerbug
This is my first foam stamp ever. I was experimenting with foam as an alternate medium for my stamps. They turned out good, but I think I'll stick with carving.
Return back toward the gray and brown painted rock (watch your step, this area is slippery). Walk past that stone toward the boulder that looks like a “horse’s butt.” About 10- yards to the left of the horse’s butt is a path leading to another collection of smaller boulders. One of the boulders looks like a rust-colored upside down dinosaur’s paw (use your imagination!)
Hidden behind the “paw” is the Summerbug stamp slipped between two stones. This is a foam stamp and may need more ink.
