Park in the small parking lot for Sinnissippi Gardens just south of The Symbol near the Auburn Street Bridge. (NOTE: The parking lot is accessible only as you are heading south on N. 2nd Street.) As you stand facing the river, you will see the Dennis F. Johnson Accessible Fishing Pier. Across the bike path from the pier is a large grouping of bushes centered between two light poles and surrounding the large Boehland Memorial stone. Start walking toward the stone. Halfway between the light pole and the stone are some bushes on the right, hiding a ledge. Lift a section of the bushes and you’ll find the letterbox sitting on the ledge. This area is heavily trafficked with bikers and runners, so be discreet. Rehide the box carefully.

After you log in, if you walk on the bike path toward the Auburn Street bridge, find the clues for A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT letterbox. If you walk south, toward the rose garden, find the clues for ODE TO A ROSE and DEN GRIMME AELLING letterboxes!

Thanks, Krait, for carving this stamp for me!
