New box in Rockingham County, VA

From: merebc99 (mmoomaw@bridgewater.edu) | Date: 2003-05-04 03:55:48 UTC

This is my first box that I planted.

Wild Butterfly

Placed by: Meredith on May 3 2003
State: Virginia
County: Rockingham
Nearest city: Harrisonburg
Number of boxes: 1

Clues
Take Exit 240 which is the Mt. crawford and Bridgewater exit and turn
towards Bridgewater. You will go through one traffic light with a
Burger King on the left. Follow the road through Bridgewater College
to another traffic light and turn left onto Route 42 and turn right
onto West Bank Street. You will see signs for Wildwood Park.

Once in Wildwood park in the parking lot. The entrance to the park is
on the right and you will need to cross the bridge. You will need to
be discreet because this park is very busy. When you are on the
bridge you might want to notice how many planks wide the bridge is
because you might need that information later. Exit off the bridge to
the right and walk towards the walkway. There are some signs along
the pathway that you might want to read for interest. Once you find
the Hummingbird/Butterfly and know your address, you are well on your
way. As you travel along the pathway, you will want to keep going
until you see a very tall and straight dead tree on the right. You
will need to turn around and count the number of steps from the
planks on the bridge. Finally, look 25 degrees and you will find the
Wild Butterfly behind a twisty tree under some branches.

Please e-mail me at mmoomaw@bridgewater.edu to let me know the boxes
condition. Happy Letterboxing!!
