Flitting Along #1 and #2
From the city of Music go I65 South; exit west where the Springs are Cool. Turn right at the Grove of this Colorado tree and right in the Grove Park of this same Colorado tree. After parking turn and face the Park. There is a pavilion for picnics on your left. There are two trails, one left, and one right. You want to take the right one where you will cross a metal bridge over a creek. Continue around the trail with the creek on your left where you will enter the forest (about 1/4 mile) and the trail will hair pin to the left and cross another metal bridge over the creek. Ahead you will see where the path splits off to the right, beyond that is a white fence, if you get to the white fence you have gone to far. Stop with the trail to the right at your back. Look around to see that nobody is around as this is a heavily used trail. When the coast is clear look in front of you and slightly to your right across the trail, you will see three small trees in a line the third being the smaller of the three. Walk down the main path as you were going and look back at the trees. The trees have many large rocks at the foot of them. When you make your way over to them and stand in front of the second tree, you will notice a huge rock against the second tree, there is a space between the rock and the tree. You should dig around under this space to find a smaller rock; under the rock, you will find "Flitting along #1" letterbox.
Please move away from the planting place to log. There are several benches further along the path that are nice places rest and to log. Be careful that no one sees you when you re-hide it. Thank you for re-hiding it back as you got it.
Once you have replaced flitting along #1, head back in the direction you came, over the metal bridge. As you go back around the hairpin curve, you will be facing a big field. Walk straight off the path out into the field to the first large double trunk tree. Flitting along #2 is hidden down inside the split of this tree. Please move away from the tree to log. Be careful that no one sees you when you re-hide it. Thank you for re-hiding it back as you got it.
Aspen Grove is beautiful and well maintained. Walk around the trail a couple of times and enjoy the beauty, watch the birds, or sit for a while!
To exit you can go back the way you came or continue around the trail, it will also take you to the parking area. If you stay on the trail one complete round, it is a little more than ½ mile.
There will be six boxes in this series with each stamp hand carved from three different mediums the last two being “special surprise” stamps.
Each of these boxes has a "First Finders Award" as will the next four to be placed in the next couple of weeks.
Happy Boxing!
