Last Sunday was Leap Day, and I found myself with nothing to do, so I
carved a simple stamp and planted a letterbox.

LEAP YEAR LETTERBOX
Placed by: Buzzard
Placement date: Feb 29 2004
State: California
County: Los Angeles
Nearest city: Pasadena
Number of boxes: 1

Clues
This is practically a "drive-by" letterbox. The walk is less than
1/4th mile, and easy for small children and dogs on a leash. You have
to walk on grass part of the way, so I guess it's not stroller-
friendly. (I've never pushed a baby stroller; can they be rolled on
baseball diamond-style grass? If so, than this LB is stroller-
friendly.)

The box is located at Victory Park in Pasadena, California. The
park's address is 2575 Paloma Street, Pasadena, CA, 91107.

Directions traveling west: Take the West 210 Freeway to Pasadena and
exit on Sierra Madre Blvd./San Marino. Turn slight left onto Maple
Street. Take Maple a few blocks to Altadena Drive. Turn right on
North Altadena Drive for .4 mile to Victory Park (which is located on
the right side of the road). Continue north on Altadena Drive another
block until you reach the park's west parking lot, and park here.

Directions traveling east: Take the East 210 Freeway to Pasadena and
exit on Sierra Madre Blvd./Altadena Drive. Stay straight to go onto
Corson Street for one block to Altadena Drive. Turn left onto North
Altadena Drive for .4 mile to Victory Park (which is located on the
right side of the road). Continue north on Altadena Drive another
block until you reach the park's west parking lot, and park here.

Begin your search from the park's west parking lot. From the lot,
head north until you reach the asphalt path that borders the chain-
link fence that surrounds the track field. Follow the asphalt path
east into the park, walking next to the chain-link fence until you
find the "green cage" located near where the path forks. At a
direction of 70 degrees from the green cage, you'll see a tree about
75 feet away that borders the track field situated above it. This is
tree Number 1, about 50 feet further on from this tree is tree Number
2. Find tree Number 6. About 12 feet north of the sixth tree, under a
root that is visible on the side of a short hill, and behind some
ivy, is the letterbox.

Please be careful reaching into dark places, and discreet re-hiding
the box, since someone may be playing soccer or baseball nearby.
