Placed: March 9, 2002 by Team Boji (ZAX31@AOL)

Driving Directions: Happy Hollow Park is off Happy Hollow Road between State Route 52 and County Route 43.

Clues: Park in the first parking area next to Shelter House #1.  Look for the Trolley Line Trail and proceed up steps.  Walk along trail until it comes to an asphalt road.  A heading of approx. 270 degrees will take you across the road and a bridge.  On the other side oft the bridge take a heading of approx. 280 degrees to a small picnic shelter with a grill in front.  From the grill walk a heading of approx. 345 degrees for 17 paces along the woods edge.  One pace equals two steps or approx. five feet.  Turning to your left, you may see a fallen tree lying in a general east - west direction.  At the stump of this tree you may see a flat rock containing fossils.  Under that rock may be the OHIO FOSSIL LETTERBOX.  Both box and stone came from Cincinnati.
