Please bring a stamp pad (box does not have one) and pencil. The box
is located in 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 Shady Hollow shelterhouse. With your back to the shelterhouse,
stand in front of the grill on the east end and take a bearing of
96. You should see a large tree at the top of a steep bank on this
line of sight about 30 yards away. Make your way to this tree and
look on the southern side of its base for our Lucky Talisman hiding
under 3 rocks. This is a busy park so take care when retrieving and
replacing the box not to be observed too closely. Email us when you
find it and let us know how it's doing at: bigguy9210@yahoo.com
