************Retired 12/24/09 due to an unsuccessful search by one boxer and confirmation with previous finder that the location was likely correct.

We retire this box with a nod to Monkey Toes, who we hope will return to letterboxing and considering replacing this one**************************

Requirements: Compass, Kite, maybe a couple of golf discs.
Directions:This box is located in Ethel Lee Tracey Park. The park offers horseshoe pits, sand volleyball, a 9 hole disc golf course, multi-purpose fields and covered picnic areas. The area where the box is doesn't drain well and the disc golf course tends to get a little soupy after a good rain, so be prepared. If it's too wet, you may have a better time with the "Ancient Monkey God" letterbox, also in this park.

Since Victoria seems to enjoy hiding it's parks from the public, it'll be easier to find the box than the park. It is situated behind the Victoria Mall. Navarro Street (US 77) runs North and South across the majority of the city. Go north on N. Navarro and take a right on E. Larkspur. Follow this street to the end and take a right. The park is at the end. (You might want to check mapquest before you go) The big hill is one of my favorite places to fly a kite. Be sure to bring one along.

Clues: Play a little disc golf. The first tee is between the tennis courts and the playground. From the hole #3 disc-catcher head 190 degrees for 25 paces. The plastic box is under some twigs in a bigger metal box. Watch out for thorns and critters. There is TALL grass in the summer.

(If you have trouble finding the #3 disc-catcher, follow the fenceline south of the entrance)
