Att: VA Webmaster: New location for Who Cooks For You? letterbox

I've moved Who Cooks For You? because it was so near private
land. I apologize for the extra work this has caused you.
Riverbend Park #4, Fairfax County VA. Nearest town is Great
Falls. Follow the previous instructions to Riverbend Park Nature
Center. Difficulty: It is about a 20-25 minute walk each way and
the return trip is partly uphill. You will need a compass, and you'll
need to differentiate between a step and a pace. From the
parking lot walk to the Nature Center and follow the signs to the
Paw-Paw Trail. Take the trail down the hill, across the bridge and
up to the intersection with a service road. Turn right on the
trail/road and walk down past the pond (bearing right here) to the
intersection with the River Trail. Head upriver on this trail for
10-12 minutes till you come to a new earthen bridge over a
creek. Cross the creek and walk about 80 paces (1 1/2 minutes)
till you come to a small path bearing about 8 degrees, almost
due south. Follow this path for 14-15 paces to a double-trunked
tulip tree with a horizontal scar 3 1/2 feet up its north trunk. From
this tree walk, on a heading of 158 degrees, about 25 paces to a
tall sycamore. Now take a bearing of 38 degrees and walk about
14 steps to another large sycamore. Who Cooks For You? is at
the base of this tree, on the north side, under sticks, leaves and
sycamore bark.
