Free Spirits

Harken back to the peace and love era of the sixties and seventies
with our whimsical little stamp named Free Spirits. Please bring a
stamp pad (box does not have one) and come to the Lake Alma State
Park outside Wellston, Ohio. To get there, take S.R.#93 north from
Wellston and turn onto S.R. #349 just outside of town. S.R. #349
will lead you a couple of miles out past the water plant and across
the dam that forms Lake Alma. (You'd never guess that 100 years ago
the island had an amusement park and interurban trains brought people
from Columbus and elsewhere to relax here!) After you cross the dam,
the park loop road turns off to the right past the park office and
the swimming beach. Make your way to the Pine Hill shelter house on
top of the hill. At the southeast corner of the shelter house, take
a bearing of 120 and go 14 paces (2 steps = 1 pace) to the edge of
the woods. You should see a faint trail in the brush leading to a
pair of trees that have been blown over and are lying parallel in a
roughly north-south direction. Look under the trunk of the nearest
tree where it meets the root ball and you should find our free
spirits.
