Clues:
After finding Captain John Smith's resting place;
Go back to the trail and your steps retrace.

And soon there will be an X in your sight!
Look under the X and you will see

Name: Reedy Creek Letterbox
Location: James River Park
City: Richmond Virginia
By: Itchy Butt Girls
Reedy Creek is part of the James River Park system in Richmond
Virginia. The Reedy Creek parking lot is off of Riverside Drive that
is located south along the James River. Riverside Drive is
accessible from the southern end of the Lee Bridge (Belvedere Road).
There are signs for Reedy Creek parking on Riverside Drive.
After parking in Reedy Creek parking area, turn and face Riverside
Drive, walking uphill towards Riverside Drive to a trail off to your
left. The trail begins next to a large rock. This is the Buttermilk
Trail. Follow this trail to a creek, staying on the left side of the
creek, continue on the trail as it goes up few stone steps and then
over a wooden footbridge. At the end of the wooden bridge, take the
left trail, and follow this a short distance until you come to a
Richmond Sewer manhole. At the manhole, turn left, and follow this
trail to the creek and a number of box culverts (tunnels). Cross the
creek and take one of the tunnels to the left of the creek. At the
end of the tunnel, stay left, and follow a gravel trail to a dam. At
the dam, go left up a few steps, and then notice a memorial on your
right. With you back to the memorial, look for a tree with three
trunks. A few paces roughly south-west behind this tree with three
trunks, and underneath some rocks, you will find the Reedy Creek
Letterbox.
The carving represents one of the primary uses of Reedy Creek, which
is access to the river for white-water kayaking. As this area may be
heavily used, please be careful when retrieving and returning the box.
Have Fun!
