The following letterbox is part of the KAZ Kids "Catch the Activity Bug" campaign. It will only be available between June 7th and September 1st, 2008. To participate in the campaign, please pick up your official "Catch the Activity Bug" Field Guide at any York County library. Please remember that all Field Guides must be turned into your local York County library no later than September 12th to qualify for prizes.

This letterbox is located in Richard M. Nixon County Park. KAZ Kids level of difficulty = 2

1. As you exit the front doors of the Nature Center, walk toward the U.S. postal mailbox and locate the boardwalk.
2. Travel along the boardwalk and, once you reach the end, turn right onto a stone path
3. Go across wooden bridge and follow the trail to the pond.
4. Continue in the direction you are walking along the edge of the pond and cross another wooden bridge.
5. Turn right onto the trail and remain on it until you reach an OLD FIELD trail sign.
6. Turn left and walk 50 adult paces on the Old Field trail.
7. Keep an eye out for squirrels, birds, insects and deer that enjoy resting on this shady hillside.
8. Now follow the Geology Trail along the split rail fence. Do you hear the stream? Do you see any fish?
9. Stay on the trail as it crosses a small wooden bridge and turns to the right.
10. The trail then turns left and proceeds up five steps.
11. Cross over a wooden ramp with seven steps up and seven steps down.
12. Ahead you will notice a bridge that you are working toward. Cross the stream using the bridge.
13. Turn right on the trail (toward Nature Center) and look for the split rail fencing with gate and Sensory Meadow Sign.
14. Enter through the first gate and turn left onto the concrete path.
15. Look for a man-made brush pile that helps kids explore a “rabbit’s eye view.”
16. Directly behind the brush pile is a medium size tree. Look for the letterbox concealed among the brush and leaves.
