Bubbles LetterBox

Hidden on: 3/7/2002
Bubbles is on a mission! Help Her save the World before Bedtime!! This
letterbox has two matching schoolbox size containers.
This is an awesome park. The creek is awesome ... from a geological point of
view! As a matter of fact we saw a Young Paleantology/geologist in search of
crinoids in the creek banks ("with their Heads!" as he put it.). My Sibling,
who wishes to remain anonymous and not have his name anywhere attached to a
PowerPuff Girl, was ready to wade in too until Mom said "no ride home if you
do!"

This one will work fine for kids BUT, depending on the season, watch out for
sticker bushes! Summer may require a machete

As long as you have the clues for the starting point this will be an easy
find. :o)
* Begin in O'Fallon MO.
* There are many parks in O'Fallon, but Bubbles liked the the Water Park.
*Highway K, West Veterans' Memorial, North WoodLawn ... follow that road to
the end.
* Bubbles doesn't need a bridge but you will.
*Turn NE.
*Follow the faint foot path along the creek bank.
*Stay close to the bank and out of back yards.
*Walk East thru the field.
*Follow the creek bed north and past the large tributary on the right.
*Continue until finding the small/steep ravine running down the hill (20
strides).
* Head up ravine then follow the bank southward until reaching the
outcropping at the large fallen tree.
*Take 8 strides East and look up the hill.
*Bubbles is on the east side of a tree on the knoll under rocks, branches &
sticks. Please carefully replace all the rocks and branches so that the boxes
are not washed away in a heavy storm AND are hidden from prying eyes! Bring
gloves for turning over wet, buggy rocks.
Happy Hunting
