Time: About 5 minutes to find the letterbox
Difficulty: The letterbox isn't hard to find, but there are narrow pathways, and some hills, so it's not wheelchair accessible.
Precautions: Because the letterbox is at an elementary school, it is quite likely that some child might stumble upon it. If you are looking for it, and it is not there, email me and I will gladly hide another one. Also try to look for the box after 6 pm because there is an after school program in the gym. Make sure there are no children around while you are looking!

Driving directions:
From I-5
Take exit 105 coming north or south on I-5. Follow the signs for the capital. When you come to the first stop light, keep straight and go up through the tunnel. Once on the other side, take a left onto Capital way. Keep on Capital way, and you will see a big church on your left, go past the church and turn left onto 21st just before the Frog Pond Grocery. Lincoln Elementary is on the second block in. You can park at the curb in front of the school, and then walk in the same direction you were driving to the corner of 21st and Franklin, take a right, and keep going until you come to a telephone pole with a black spot and a blue gate.

If you are coming the other direction (away from Olympia high school) Follow Capital Way over the bridge, and stay on it around the curve. The Frog Pond Grocery will be on your right. Take a right onto 21st, and once again Lincoln Elementary will be on the second block. You can park at the curb in front of the school, and then walk in the same direction you were driving to the corner of 21st and Franklin, take a right, and keep going until you come to a telephone pole with a black spot and a blue gate.

Clues:
According to the guys down town, a burglar who is at large has hidden some incriminating evidence where he thinks no one will find it. But lucky for you our dear friend Sherlock Holmes has left us a set of directions.
They are as follows:
Starting at the blue gate, which has a "no parking fire lane" sign on it; walk over to the information display to your right. Use you detective skills to decipher the valuable information hidden there. Once you are finished follow the zig-zag path all the way to the blue fences. Once you are at the top, you will turn left onto the dirt pathway lined with rocks. Follow it until you come to a "T" and take the path that leads left. Follow this path and keep to the right. We don't know who might be lurking about, so be careful. You will notice that the path you are on will come to an end. But not to worry! Simply cross over the concrete and follow the rocks on your right. You will notice a path that appears to lead nowhere, but fear not! You are on the right track my dear friend. Follow the path to the wall. On your left is an inconspicuous rock sitting by itself. But this is no ordinary rock I tell you! For underneath it is the evidence you will need to convict this felon of his crime! Good luck!
