This is a box with a store bought stamp. It was planted ten years ago. The original planters have moved on from letterboxing I think, so since I found the box recently, I adopted the box.
Head to the Columbia Recreation Park on Hennequin Rd. Park in the lot by the playscapes.
Go to the treeline near the swings and find the white trail going into the woods. Pass the yellow trail on the right and continue until the "No ATV's" sign at the next yellow trail intersection. Go straight or right on the yellow trail. Doesn't matter which one you take since they meet back up again in about a 1/4 of a mile.
When you get to the next yellow trail intersection, head west, going through the stone wall. Keep going, past two blue trails intersections on the left, a fire pit on the right and go through one more stone wall.
When you get to the next stone wall, stop. Look right, just off trail for a large tree with a hole at its base (on the back side. It can't be seen from the trail). In the hole, underneath a flat rock, find the box. (If you get to the white/yellow cross over trail, you've gone too far).
When replacing the rock. Please be gentle so you don't break the box. Retrace your steps back to the car, OR, continue on the yellow trail. Go over the stream on the rocks. When you get to an intersection where yellow goes straight (kinda left) or right, turn right. When you get to the intersection with white (NOT the one you came in on), go left/straight on white and you will come out on the far north side of the parking area. BTW, you might find other boxes on this same stretch of trail :-).
