Planted by The Family. Today that is JT, TT, Jammer, Squirrel the
nut and rtrw on October 5th ,2002

Difficulty - not hard, but there's a climb
Time - 30 minutes to an hour, not including stamp in time
Directions to starting place - Make your way to the Hell Creek
Section of Wilson Lake State Park. Pick up a map and nature trail
brochure and head to the Dakota Nature Trail. This link may help
you get a map in advance.

Details you should know - Der Mad Stamper's Wilson Lake Letterbox is
on this trail. It has been in place since 1999, and we were the
first ones to stamp in. He's a terrific carver, and more people
should go find this box. We planted our letterbox as a tag a long on
the same trail in hopes that if we plant them, they will
come

Details you don't need to know, but might enjoy - We saw a small
snake there. There are some amazing views of Lake Wilson along this
trail. I found two round gourds here, too. We were here on a
gorgeous windy day. Definitely not typical Kansas views from the top.

Clues: Park near the restroom building and head up the trail to the
left as you face it. There is a bench at the overlook on top of the
hill. Either take the long trail around (my suggestion) or turn
right onto the short loop (Squirrel's idea). Either way you will
have a chance to pick up the box. Where the two trails meet and the
sand rocks greet (at # 11 on your map), your prize is tucked into the
rocks that look off the south. Regarding the stamp, I now know that
bulls aren't broncs. See what happens when a Yankee tries to plant
letterboxes in the mid west.

Please report any box needs to rtrw@attbi.com. This is, however, a
bit of an orphan box since I only make it out there about once a
year. If there's anything you can do to make sure the box is dry and
in ok shape, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
