WA: Mercerdale Park placed

From: Eliza B. (iqzine@moderngypsy.com) | Date: 2002-08-01 21:57:03 UTC-07:00
NAME: Eliza B/Moderngypsy
BOX NAME: Heart of Lake Washington Box
LOCATION: Mercerdale Park, Mercer Island
NEAREST CITY: Seattle, WA
COUNTY: King
DIFFICULTY: Easy clues, easy hike. Kid-friendly.

DIRECTIONS:
From I-5, take the I-90 East exit and follow I-90 to exit 7A (77th SE).
Take a right from the end of the exit onto 77th, and follow it 3-4
blocks to where it dead-ends. In front of you is the park. :) Park
nearby, and find the place where 77th meets 33rd, (where 77th
dead-ended). You're here. :)

CLUES:
Find the recycling center. To the right is a circular garden, and at
the back, a set of stairs that starts the trail.

Follow the trail up the stairs. Continue until the stairs split into
two, and take the left fork. Follow the path down and to the right, and
continue on the gravel path until it ends.

Turn left onto the concrete car-path, and follow it down the hill until
you get to the stone road on the left side. Turn that way and follow
the road until you get to the sidewalk and follow it around a slight
left. (There may be a fence in your way, if so, follow the perimeter
around.)

You will come upon a sign on your left side that explains the rules of
the concrete jungle. Go past the sign to the very back corner of the
cement. There will be a wood-chipped path to your right. Follow it.

Go leftish on the path. You'll see a bench on your left side. Go
forward to the Y (several steps), and to right to the next bench.

Facing the bench, look to your right. There's a cut piece of a log.
Facing it, there's another wood piece on its left side. Move it, and
the box is under the log in a hollowed-out space.

This is a high-traffic area, so please make sure to replace the wood
chunk over the log hollow when you replace the box! Thank you!
