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 the Hanover-York Trolley Line. GO York Kids level of difficulty = 1

1. Begin your walk at the parking area off of Hershey Road.
2. Walk on the new section of the trail heading west (toward Hanover).
3. Begin by counting the number of telephone poles to your left.
4. If the third pole you count has three gray cylinders at the top, you are on the right track.
5. Continue walking and count another five poles on your left. Also take note of the crushed gray/blue rocks on your left. These are here so that water can drain away from the trail and back into the creek.
6. The fifth pole you should be counting has 66-68JS on it.
7. While standing on the trail next to this pole, you will see an old telephone pole on the right side of the trail. What you seek will be near this telephone pole.
