Directions:
This box is hidden at South Lakes Park in Denton. From I-35E, go west on Teasley. Turn right on Hobson, drive past the church, and the park entrance is on your right. Park close to the tennis courts and take the sidewalk past the restroom which will lead you to the nature trail.
Clues:
Finding herself in South Lakes Park in Denton, the Queen of Grapes set off to find some nice, plump, juicy grapes in the woods. She started up a path beside a court where she observed people amusing themselves by batting large, bright yellow grapes back and forth over a net. How entertaining, yet she was on a mission to find grapes of her own. Fearing she may get lost in the woods, she decided to count her royal steps so she could find her way back out of the woods after she found her treasure.
Upon entering the gravel nature trail, she only went a few steps before she saw a path leading off to the left, but she decided to stay on the main trail and continue forward. Counting her steps, she proceeded 119 steps to a marker on her right, and then continued 28 steps more to a smaller path leading off to the right. Now that trail certainly looks promising. The Queen started traveling up this path and very soon came to a concrete cylinder across the path. She looked around at this point to see if she could find any grapevines, but she saw none. Now she was becoming hot and tired and would love to find a nice vine in which to rest. Once again she started to count her steps. From the cylinder, she wound down the path for 55 steps until she discovered another path going off to the left, but she continued to travel along her original path straight ahead. After continuing 19 more steps, she came to a trail marker on her right with no information... how curious! The Queen is really quite tired now, but continued for 70 additional steps down the path until she came to a lovely shade tree. How interesting… it’s certainly not a grapevine, but it’s a lovely pear tree, and after all, they are both fruit! She noticed a lovely small locust tree to the left of the path and a nice lacy mesquite tree just beyond the pear tree on the right. Mesquite trees have thorns, so she carefully worked her way between the mesquite and pear tree and found a nice cool place to rest near the trunk of the pear.
Perhaps if you are very quiet, you can still find her sleeping, tucked behind some small rocks under the pear tree.
*This box was planted in the summer, but if you are searching for it when there is no foliage on the trees, unless you are able to recognize trees from their bark, be sure to pay close attention to the number of steps.
