in the parks!

Wings of Peace

Winton Road to park entrances on left and right. Also accessible via
Ronald Reagan-Cross County Highway to Winton Road exit, north on

Clues: Begin at the visitor center, at the Hike-Bike Trail. Begin
walking east. Around the bend you will come to a fork where you will
go left. Continue walking to the next fork where you will again go
left. Cross over the bridge and continue on the trail along the
lake. Pass by the 2 benches and follow the curves - see the
shelterhouse up on the hill? At the bottom of the hill look to your
right to the end of the fence. There are 2 logs at the east end of
the fence. Next to the hill behind the eastmost log you will find
what you seek. Be discreet this is a busy trail. You may continue
on around the lake for a really nice walk, or return the way you came.

* This is a microbox *

Clues: Begin at the parking area across from the Kingfisher
trailhead. Begin at the sign reading "Wetlands Restoration". Follow
the trail around the bend to the fork. Continue past the bench.
Stop at the looping vine overhanging the trail before you descend
down to the creek. Look to your right and walk to the 2 trees
standing alone. Now look left at the huge double tree. In the
crotch of the tree you will find the camo microbox. You may continue
down the hill and take the lower loop back to the parking lot.

Blue Willow

Location: Winton Woods, Winton Road, Cincinnati, Ohio
Directions: Take I-275 to Winton Road-Forest Park exit, south on
Winton Road to park entrances on left and right. Also accessible via
Ronald Reagan-Cross County Highway to Winton Road exit, north on
Winton Road to park entrances.
Level: Easy find, easy trail
Need: Stamp, stamp pad, pen

Clues: Begin at the Sycamore Valley parking area. Cross the foot
bridge and begin walking to your right along the treeline. Walk
until you hit the paved trail. Be careful when crossing the wire
barrier! Continue down the gravel trail meandering along the
stream. You will come to a "No Bikes" sign. Walk around the
barrier. See those stairs up the hill? Climb the steps and walk to
the beginning of the boardwalk. At the trail map post look to your
left. At the bottom of the 2nd post from the left is the blue
willow. He is sad that he cannot be by the stream but the spring
rains would carry him away (P.S. His hiding place is oh so close
to Team Jedi's "Fore!" box.)
