VA -- Billy Goat Gruff microbox replaced

From: virginiawaterbird (virginiawaterbird@yahoo.com) | Date: 2003-03-28 18:16:45 UTC
VA -- Fiarfax County. Great Falls. Riverbend Park.
Billy Goat Gruff Microbox. This was intended to be velcro'd in place, but that
idea had to be abandoned. It is in a plastic baggy.
Planted 3/29/03 by Waterbird
Difficulty: A walk-up, an easy find on your way to Bee's Knees.

Go past the entrance to the Visitors Center and follow the signs to the Nature
Center. Park in the lot. Take the footpath just past mailbox #8314 to the Paw
Paw Trail and turn left. When you come to the footbridge, look under the NW
corner for Billy Goat Gruff, who is keeping an eye peeled for trolls.
Note: It is tucked WAY up and behind leaves.

Call off the search party! We are really happy to hear that you've replaced
your box! We'll make sure we hide it very, very well when we go to look for
it (which we will do ASAP before it goes AWOL again) A.O.K!

Speaking of search parties -- we will have to go look for your other boxes
in the "unknown" land by Riverbend. After getting lost last fall at Claude
Moore, team BeMa was very wary of going after any boxes in areas without
park rangers to rescue us (should the need have arisen) (of course, we know
from Psychomommy that firemen will come to you no matter where you are --
and in great numbers!...)

Thanks for planting so many near or in Riverbend! I think there are eight
total in the park or a stone's throw from it. It's as close to a CT like
density that you can find around here! :) BeMa
