> Hello~ I am new to letterboxing and i don't have my own webpage
or anything sorry, but I've planted a new box in the contra costa
county area. To be specific, the box is at Castle Rock Park in
Walnut Creek. The directions and clues are as follows:
>
> If you're coming from Walnut Creek take Ygnacio Valey Rd. Turn
Right on Walnut Ave. At the end, you'll make a Right on Oak Grove
Rd.,which turns into Castle Rock Rd. Follow the road all the way to
the end, and park at the entrance gate. (Parking is free.) At the
gate you start on the path that takes you through the park. You
will see picnic benches and what looks like a playground. This park
is used for many large party picnics and such. Continue on the
path, taking the Diablo Foothills Trail. Keep following the main
trail until you get to a "T". Bear Left and keep going on the path
until you get to the creek. You'll want to cross the creek on the
Left side, not straight ahead. Take the path upwards and to the
Right. Keep going up until you get to "Cave Man Curry Cave". This
is an interesting place to rest, as you have quite a hike a bit
ahead of you. The path will continue on the Right of the cave. Go
up in between the two walls of rock, over the one in the middle.
Just after you get over the rock, you'll see a small clearing on
your right. It's just a little grassy knowle (sp?) that takes you
to the edge of the cliff. You can stand there on a boulder and
enjoy the view of the hillside. If you turn directly around, facing
the main path again, to your right you'll see two small boulders.
On the right of the boulders, and slightly in between the two,
you'll find my box. Please hide it nicely when you're done. Good
luck, and please email me if you have any trouble finding the spot.
For those adventurous hikers, you can continue to take the trail up
the mountain and there is a secret way to get to the caves you see
directly above you. This hike is moderately difficult and takes
about 35 minutes.
