Loggerhead Letterbox

Location: Boca Raton, FL--Palm Beach county
Date of Placement: 7/20/02
Placed By: The Terrapin Traveliers

You are looking for a Nature Center named for a tree that is known for its
distinctive peeling bark (some call it the "tourist tree"). When you find
the place, you can begin your quest. Turn into the driveway and park off
to the right. Make a donation and pick up a trail map at the main building.
Take time to look at some of the displays and exhibits--beware of the king
snake! The Boardwalk Trail is a nice walk, however what you seek is on the
North Trail. Follow the yellow butterflies out of the nature center --it
will lead you to the butterfly garden. Take time to enjoy the multitude of
flowers, and butterflies. As you continue along, stay to the left. You
will pass bee boxes and Alice's bench on your left. Continuing ahead, you
will come upon a seating area with eight long benches in a clearing. In the
northeast corner of this area you will see a cabbage palm (sabal palmetto)
to the left of some Australian pine trees. At the base of this palm, you
will find what you seek. Approach from the left side. The box is covered
well under pine needles and a flat stone. Beware of critters when reaching
into dark places. Be discrete! Use the nearby benches to sit down and
stamp. Please replace the box exactly where you found it, well hidden, and
under the flat stone. We hope that you enjoy your visit. Please adhere to
the "leave no trace" policy.
