MISSING 2-8-2008
Please bring along a compass, and your own stamp pad and pen.
Background:
The park is named for James E. Campbell, governor of Ohio 1890-1892.
This mound is one of the last remaining conical burial mounds in the city of Columbus. The 20-foot-high and 100-foot-diameter mound is located in the one-acre Campbell roadside park. The mound is grass-covered and a path leads to its summit. It was probably constructed about 2000 years ago by the prehistoric Adena people.
To Find This Letterbox:
Campbell Park is located five miles northwest of downtown Columbus on the west side of McKinley Avenue, about 1/2 mile south of the intersection with Trabue Road. It is adjacent to an old limestone quarry in Franklin County.
From I-70 take Wilson Rd exit (exit 94). Take Wilson Rd north to Trabue. Go east on Trabue to McKinley Ave (before 2nd set of railroad tracks). Go south on McKinley Ave. Campbell Park is located on the west side of McKinley Ave less than a mile from Trabue Rd.
The letterbox is located along the south wall of Campbell Park. From the park entrance, take a 160 degree bearing. This will point you to a breakdown point in the stone wall, in front of a hackberry tree; go there. Then take 4 steps to your right (west); you will now be in front of a multi-trunked hackberry tree (or trees). The letterbox is located under some smallish horizontal stones, where the tree meets the wall.
Be sure to climb the mound and take in the view of the quarry, after you’ve stamped in.
