Title : "Gingko". Placed 11-17-03 by Salamander. Location: Near Elm
Grove, Pike Co., Ohio. Difficulty: Easy. This letterbox is inspired
by one of autumn's prettiest trees. The Gingko's fan-shaped leaves
turn a brilliant yellow in the fall. However, the female Gingko
produces a small fruit which emits one of the nastiest odors in the
natural world. As with many things in life, sometimes you "just have
to take the bitter with the better". CLUES: Go to the rest area
on Route 32 near Elm Grove. Start at the " Windhover" sculpture near
the restrooms building. Standing four feet to the south of the
sculpture, take a compass reading of 184 degrees. Go 34 paces at
this heading to a metal object. Then go 16 paces @ 165 degrees to a
tree against a fence. The box is hidden under a rock and some bark
where the tree has grown into the fencing.
