YOur word is like a lamp that shows me the way. It is like a light that guides me. Psalm 119:105
Easy hike (written for the kids learning directional skills on a compass) Enjoy!
Once again bring your compass, and use that map from the Nature center at the Cape Henelopen State Park. Begin at the "Point" of Herring Lot. Stand on the table if you are able. On the Edge of the continent of NOrth America facing the mighty, blue, Atlantic with the cool mist of the ocean streaming through your hair.... It's a Peppermint Patty moment! To the N the Great Dune, to the S two more towers. If you face exactly N, you'll see the Great Dune and beyond it the white lighthouse faintly in the distance. Head W past the battery ( no pink bunny) but "Herring" You'll see. 1942 is your clue. Down the hill across the road to Box #2. A quiet trail beckons you to enter. A fork as you begin, westward HO! and notice no wind.
Pine needles cradle your sneaks, pass a rock in the road and sing "Jesus is my Rock and he Rolls my blues away, bop shu wap bap shu bap (Repeat 2xs) Come on now clap , get into it! We're using maracas with the kids! Sing it to the King!
A little further on amidst tall pines to your N you'll see a fire hydrant from way back in time. To your S there's a bench, but nobody sits. Keep plugging away --- down the hill a little bit.
To a bright sunny spot. This is the end.. a large fallen tree at the base of a pine on your N side is where the buried treasure will hide! Walk to the tree to the W you will see, hidden in debris, the treasure to you from we!

****If hiking this with kids, like we are, a surprise treat of peppermint patties, and small musical instruments like maracas, to pull out at the appropriate time while reading the clues will be an added enjoyment to finding this letterbox.
