Bug-A-Boo

Although zillions of this little lady's cousins have worn out their
welcome around here the past couple of years, she's still one of
Ohio's beloved symbols. We left her in a microbox (please bring a
stamp pad and pencil) tucked away where she won't bother anybody. To
find her, look in Lake Alma State Park. 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. From the east side of the drinking
fountain, take a bearing of 220 and walk 8 paces (2 steps = 1 pace)
to a very tall pine tree that forks about 5 feet from the bottom.
