This is an easy walk with kids or dogs (on leash), though strollers will have trouble at certain points. Picnic tables are readily available and inviting. This is a double-sided stamp, so bring two (or more) colors of ink to make your picture.

Note: these clues have changed since the box was first placed.

Clues:

A salmon decided to take a bicycle ride. He started near Rosemary’s workplace, and found The elegant upward spiral of Fibonacci 3-D. Looking due west, he spotted Tat, and pedaled over. From Tat, a glace at 330 took him to Portal, where he jumped through a couple of times, just for fun. At 170 he saw Lift and pedaled over to investigate.

After such furious pedaling (did I mention salmon have very short legs?), he was tired. At 22 he saw a bench where he could rest and read about May Blossom. The salmon on the board told him which direction to go, so he set off again.

After passing 1½ on the left, he was faced with a myriad of choices. Which way? He sat on the steps to the slough and contemplated. When he turned around, the fish showed him which way to go. Up seven, even more fish led the way, turning his ride into a derby!

He forded the Squak, and saw a crunchy path below. He took it, now moving against the current. He settled in for the long haul, past huge rocks and lots of greenery. He could even see the bench where he rested before! A curve, trees, and soon a bridge came into sight. He didn’t know how much further he could go! A fallen log on the right of the path looked like a good place to rest. As he sat, he noticed an enticing snag lying across the path, and flopped in, pulling his bicycle in behind him. He tucked himself in with some leaves, and, if I’m not mistaken, you can still find him there, snoozing away.

This is a very heavily traveled trail, with office buildings all around: please be very discreet and re-hide the box well.
