The Ox and the Rabbit

In the spring of 1998, an Ox and a Rabbit, lovers, not yet married a year, spent some time at a rustic vantage point in this northern wilderness. Seventeen years after their union, they returned, leaving behind a small treasure for those who follow.

Along the Keweenawland's northern shore, there is a place of respite dedicated to the memory of Anna Scott Block, though not named for her. At this place is a brass marker stating just this, on a rock bluff framed with evergreens and thimbleberries.

Once you've found the brass marker, walk to the Western end of the bluff. From the base of the stairs, walk past the nearby grill to find the path along the lake. Go past the leaning pine, taking care to miss its roots. Four steps past the largest root, you cast your gaze through the cedar trees to the right, where your eyes fall upon a moss and lichen-covered boulder a short ways off the path. The box is tucked away, safely, behind.

Edit--> These directions have been changed, as the brutal elements of Lake Superior's coastline have threatened the box (we did, in fact, think it lost for some time). Once you've re-hidden the box, treat yourself to a walk up the steps of the bluff's top trail. Along that trail, you will come to a rustic shelter, battered by the coastal weather and the brutal winters. Couples throughout the decades have stopped here, including the Ox and the Rabbit!

This is a well-traveled park, so take care and re-hide the box well!
