Dress Joe Pablano is a series of letterboxes I have planted at King's Park in the South End of Winnipeg. Four of the five boxes are simply carved stamps with magnets adhered, thus only one Logbook for the whole series. Please record your finds online as well as log in to compensate for this.

Clues
To Get to King's Park, head towards the University of Manitoba. Find Kings Drive, heading south from campus, and on your left will be King's Park. Follow the entrance to a large parking lot (past the one with the bathrooms).

Box #1 - Joe's Head
From the parking lot road, where the street is blocked to vehicles, becomes gravel, then paved walking path: this dress up adventure begins.
The path will bend to the right, stop at Lyon's bench. Stand at the left end of the bench while facing the woods behind it. Walk 10 paces (20 steps) along the path behind the bench. Turn to your right. You should see a fallen tree. What you seek is behind the fallen tree under a tan colored rock. Be careful when finding and re-hiding as you are visible to muggles from the path. Be sure to cover the pouch with the rock as well as a few leaves and branches.

Box #2 - Joe's Blouse
Return to the path and continue on, keeping the pond on your left and the river on your right.
The paved path will take an abrupt left out of the woods, to an overly landscaped botanical garden. Pass it.
The path will take many diversions: dont get lost! At the first T go right. stay left. pass the cobbled trellis.
Before the dark boulders take the meandering cobbled path to the North West.
Where the cobblestone meets the paved path go right to the stone wall bench. Walk to the backside of the bench. Look at the right most back support as it goes under the bench. Between that support and the middle bench support is a gap in the wall. Stuck under the middle beam in that gap is his blouse.

Box #3 - Joe's Skirt
Continue on this path towards the white trellis, but do not go under them. Take the path left under the single wood trellis. Into the clearing on the right take the wild prairie grasses path, around the bends and to the opposite entrance.
Look to your right and notice to square posts that once held a sign. The are about 2 feet tall. Look under the left support for the skirt.

Box #4 - Joe's Loafers
Locate the paved path from the wood chip trail and take it South East. Pass the triangular juncture and continue on into the woods. Follow the path as it bends left and out of the woods, but dont get bitten by Fido.
Pass the green bench or take a rest. At the Y go left, through and out of the woods. From here you will see a small concrete shed. Take the path until it is on your left and a corresponding utility box is on your right.
Hidden under the right hand side of the bottom of the box is Joe's preferred footwear.

Box #5 - Joe's Drink
Return to the path and keep walking. Where the path declines, turn and march west, your journey is almost complete. If the open field is flooded, find your way around, but keep your bearing. Locate a nice place to rest your feet and have a cold one.
Under DPR's middle plank is Joe's drink of choice. Skol!

I hope you enjoyed dressing Joe. Please let me know the status of this series if problems arise. And don't forget to look for another nearby box while there.
