Where the Poison Ivy Leaf Grows
Placed by: Poison Ivy
Placement date: Sep 13 2003
State: Virginia
County: Fairfax
Nearest city: Vienna
Number of boxes: 1

With a courteous hat tip to Daughter of the Old Dominion.

The original box named Rusty was placed in this park - a temporary box
placed in memory of a pet that had passed on. I and friends went in
search of Rusty and were certain we'd found the spot, but not the box.
I had a box ready in the car so I decided to place it here in memory
of the box in memory of Rusty. (The stamp is a poison ivy leaf, a red
fern would have been more appropriate - remember Ol' Yeller?)

Anyhoo, we were looking in the wrong spot. So Rusty may still be
there, and now so is this one in a similar spot. The directions are
the same as "Rusty" with only one word changed.....from left to right.
If you find the "Poison Ivy" go back to the directions and change
'right' to 'left' and go on to find "Rusty."

"Directions to Park: From I-66, take Nutley Street toward Vienna. Turn
left at light on Courthouse Road. Turn left into the first parking
lot. If you reach Nottoway Park, you?ve gone too far.

Directions to Box: Take the main path past the enclosed dog area on
your left. At the fork, take the left path. You will reach a sewer
cover on the right of the path. Stand on the word sewer, with your
toes toward Fairfax. Look off into the woods at about the 11 o?clock
position. You will see two V trees. Make your own path to the trees
and stand between them. Ahead of you is a boxwood. The box is under
the north edge of the bush."
