Location: Deep Run Park, off Ridgefield Parkway, Henrico County, VA
For a map to the park, visit http://www.co.henrico.va.us/rec/FormsandDirections.htm.
Hunting Info: Paths are mostly flat with a few hills. Should take about 45 minutes. NO INK PADS INCLUDED. COMPASS NEEDED. This is a popular park, so please be discreet when stamping in.
Box 1 – VIRGINIA STATE DOG
As you enter the park from Ridgefield Parkway, you’ll pass the 1st parking area for shelters 1, 2, and 3. Go up the road and park in 2nd parking area. If you reach the Soccer Field, you’ve gone too far.
-Find two rows of bushes with a paved path between them that takes you across a small bridge with wooden handrails.
-Go between the bushes, cross bridge and turn left onto paved trail.
-Pass one pavilion on right and then walk through center of 2nd pavilion. Turn left onto paved trail.
-Go up the hill and turn right (still on paved trail) which will merge with another short trail coming from the left.
-Keep on this paved trail as you pass a PIGNUT HICKORY sign.
-A short distance past the sign, turn right just before the wooden RED OAK sign onto a dirt path.
-Follow trail to a GREEN FENCE and turn left.
-Follow the fence line (staying on dirt path) and start counting “No Trespassing Signs” (abbreviated “NTS” for rest of directions) hanging on the fence.
-Keep walking until you reach the 10th NTS and STOP.
(In case you lose count, the 3rd NTS is beside a STUMP that is almost as tall as the fence.
The 6th NTS is near where the fence line curves & there is a log across the path that has been cut out to allow the path through.
Across the path from the 9th NTS is a CEDAR TREE with pronounced RINGS around its trunk.)
-Walk 9-10 paces past the 10th NTS and stop with a Beech tree on your left. See the ESP (heart symbol) MN carved in it? While facing this tree carving, point your compass to 322° towards a tree with a log lying on the ground at its base. The log & tree will form a backwards “L”.
-Where the log meets the tree, in a hole under the log, is VIRGINIA’s STATE DOG.
-Please cover the box well with leaves after stamping in.
