Madison Tribute Series
Letterbox #1 - David Lewis Crosby

Turville Point Conservation Park
East Olin Drive, Madison WI

This letterbox is dedicated to the memory of
David Lewis Crosby of the Madison Chamber Orchestra,
in gratitude for the magic he created at Madison's
Concerts on the Square.

The parking lot for the conservation park is to
the south of the main entrance of Olin Turville Park.
The trail heads east from the parking lot.

Clues:
Follow the main trail from the parking lot about 1/10th mile
to the first major fork in the trail. (There is a trail that splits
off before this, but the main trail heads due east.) Take the fork
to the left.
At the next fork in the trail (about 2/10th mile from start),
take the trail going to the right.
The trail meanders along the lake to the left and sometimes
into the woods to the right. Eventually you will walk through
a large stand of trees ~ the path goes through this stand to
the left back towards the lake.
About mile from the start of the trail, you will see a tiny
short footpath leading up to a view of the lake. At the top of this
path is a ring of stones and the tall jagged remains of a
fire-charred tree. After admiring the skyline view of central
Madison, which includes the State Capitol where the
Concerts on the Square take place, turn and look
inside the tree for the letterbox.
Notes:
Turville Point Conservation Park is about .5 mi. north
from the John Nolan Drive exit off Hwy 12-18, turn right
on East Olin Avenue from John Nolan Drive.
If youd like to bike, the trail is about 2 miles from
Williamson Bicycle Works, which is at the other end of
John Nolan Drive. This store rents bikes and other
equipment, and the bike path practically leaves from
their door! The park allows no bikes, though I presume
it would be fine to walk them through.
