Name: Gary and Pam Ludwig
Name of Letterbox: Peace Grove
Date of Placement: April 27 2003
State and County: California in Alameda County
Nearest City: Berkeley
The following are the clues to our Letterbox:
From Orinda and Hiway 24 go West onto Camino Pablo (San Pablo Dan Road)
till the intersection of Wildcat Canyon Road. Follow Wildcat Canyon
Road to Inspiration Point. Pickup a "Tilden Park" trail map. Follow
Nimitz Way 1 3/4 miles. From here take trail towards Wildcat Peak.
Hiking approx. 200 feet, notice a group of Giant Sequoias named the
'The Peace Grove'. Within the Grove, find the tree dedicated to Dr.
Edward Teller. When facing Dr. Teller, take narrow trail to the left
for approx. 100 ft. staying to the left till you find yourself within a
group of four Giant Sequoias. The Peace Letterbox is placed behind the
Sequoia facing Southwest.
From Berkeley, drive to Tilden Park's Little Farm. Pickup up a trail
map at the environmental center. Take Wildcat Peak trail to summit.
Once on summit, seek out Peace Grove in a North Easterly direction.
Once within Peace Grove, follow the above instructions.
Good Luck and Happy Hiking...
