Clues:
Look for the street signs S 159 St and 51 Ave S. Go to the right and
take the paved trail up the hill past the picnic shelter, play area
and artifical "pond". You will go up some steep stairs. When you
reach a bunch of choices, stay straight (approx. 250 degrees) Look
for a Magnolia on your right and a Holly bush hiding a snag on your
left. The letterbox is at the base of the snag, hidden by some pieces
of bark.
Be sure to read the waiver of responsibilty and liability
Thanks, Amanda
