To find these letterboxes go to Augustana College and find the intersection of 38th street and 7th Avenue. From this intersection look north west towards Centennial Hall and park in the parking lot near the tennis courts in the back of Centennial Hall. From there you will start your hunt:


Box 1 Augustana; Facing the tennis courts with your back to the parking lot, turn left and walk on the sidewalk. At the end of the first tennis court to your left there is a small memorial park with a statue in the middle of it. Go in, stand with your back on the statue’s back and you will see a bench in front of you with a green wall of trees behind it. Walk 6 paces directly to the right, then look left and there will be a coniferous tree directly in front of you. “Augustana” is hidden by the base of the tree.


Box 2 College; For the second box walk back to the sidewalk and turn left. Walk until you reach the end of a black drain pipe on the ground along the stone wall. (10 paces from the steps.) Face the stone wall and the letterbox is hidden in a small hole under the bush in front of you.


Box 3 Vikings; For the last letterbox walk strait to the parking lot on the sidewalk until you reach the road. Just beyond the road is the track and field, but instead of crossing it look to your left and you will see a series of bushes. Behind the bush in the middle covered in many leaves is box number 3.
Please be discreet and rehide the boxes well. This is a busy area and many people walk by. Also the parking lot is sometimes full so you can park in the parking lots that you passed to get to the ones by the tennis courts.
