The following letterbox is part of the GO York "Get Outdoors and Be Creative!" program. It will only be available between June 6, 2009 and September 7, 2009. To participate in the program, please pick up your official "Get Outdoors and Be Creative! Sketch Book at any York County library.

In addition, this program uses creativity stations - a wooden marker post with an engraved plate on it - instead of a traditional letterbox. Please make sure to have a crayon with you to carefully rub the picture in your Sketch Book. Further information about the "Get Outdoors and Be Creative!" program may be found at www.goyork.org.

This creativity station is located at Highpoint Scenic Vista and Recreation Area. GO York Kids level of difficulty = 2

1. Locate the gravel path that winds up the hill and through the park. Start your hike here.
2. When you reach the 5th waystop, sit down and look for an off-white house nearby (not the white farm buildings). How many chimneys do you see? ___
3. Continue up the gravel path to the top of the hill. Once there, take in the breathtaking view of the Susquehanna River and surrounding area. Think of how you would paint a beautiful picture of this view.
4. At the top, find west on the star compass and locate the grass trail in that direction.
5. Follow the grassy trail you located until you reach the ___rd post (the number of chimneys you counted). The creativity station is located here.
6. To return to the base of the hill, continue on this grass trail until it meets the main gravel path.
