GO and Experiment! - Metamorphosis LbNA #66928 (ARCHIVED)

This letterbox is part of the GO and Experiment! program. It will be available from June 1, 2014 - August 17, 2014. Further details about the program may be found at www.goyork.org.

Through the GO and Experiment! program, you will be searching for "scientific terms" – wooden posts with engraved plates on them – instead of a traditional letterbox and stamp. Please carefully rub the impression from the engraved plate into your GO and Experiment! rubbing page, available at any York County library.

The letterbox is located at Gifford Pinchot State Park and may be accessed from the Conewago Day Use parking area. GO York level of difficulty = Easy

 Start at the Visitor/Nature/Interpretive Center.
 Look for the trail to the left of the building, and follow the stone path, slightly uphill and into the woods.
 Look for the Oak Trail sign along the main trail – you are on the right path!
 Go beyond the group of boulders to your left and look for the large boulder on your right that looks like a chair.
 Continue past the bent tree and Pinchot’s rocks (check out the tree that looks like it is growing from the rocks!).
 Take your first right onto the trail at a tree that “splits into two.”
 Stay to the right on the path to pass the fallen Pin Oak tree.
 Continue straight on the trail.
 At the next split (near trail marker 31), stay to the left through the cedar tree stand, learning a bit more about Eastern Red Cedars.
 At the end of the path, find what you are looking for next to the low stone wall, among the American Hornbeam trees (near trail marker 32).
