2 boxes at Louisville , Ky.
Rated Easy , lets get families out finding them
here too.
Planted by the Stearns Family of the
Cock-A-Doodle-Moo 4-H Club
In Louisville there is a beautiful park designed
by Frederick Law Olmstead. He is famous for his design of Central Park, N.Y. and
many others. The park is Cherokee Park. Access the park by taking Eastern
Parkway from the highway to the park entrance.
Follow the park's scenic loop by
car to a pointed park pavillion . Hereyou leave your car at the roadside parking
spaces. Enter the trail behind spitting turtles. As you leave the turtles
travel down the leaf strewn path at a T in the trail go left , onto a
smaller trail. You will have a view of the small stream go on. You
take the high road and I'll take the low road .....and instead of Scotland
we come together again. I chose the low road.
At the cross paths go left and
immediatley right. Next comes a Y in the path ( see the road to bridge on
the right) GO left. then straight at the next junction under some trailing
grape vines you go.
While white arrows say left you should go
right. Step onto a small people only bridge. Look for R.C. your box is behind
that, gaurded by cement. If you followed this well you will find a
Horse of Course. Stamp secretly the park is a bustling place , we were
seen but by a pair of dogs!
Return
across the bridge and strsaight up the hill to the motor road. At the road turn
left to return to your car. The road is one way .
Follow the motor
road called scenic loop to intersection with Park Boundry road. Turn Right.
Follow about 1 mile it twists and turns go slow here. When you see a bridge over
a shallow river and a children's playground to the left go there and cross
the bridge.
Park in the gravel parking lot.
There is a walking path along the back corner stretching away with shale
type cliffs to the right.
In the morning the sun will rise to the
left over the stream. Folow this sunny morning trail to the Y in trail
keep to the right, under the ceder tree that leans and on.
At the clearing spy a large dead
tree opposite the trail opening. The Sunrise letterbox in wedged in the cleft of
the three trunks as they lay rotting on the ground. Be careful that you
are not seen. Take the box away a bit to stamp then discreetly hide it again in
the same location. We enjoyed hiding these for you while we attended
the National FFA Convention 2000. FFA is the organiztion promoting
Agriculture Education to its 450,000 members nationwide. 49,000 attended the
convention. Good Luck
