Would you please post these clues on the Letterboxing North America
website? Thanks! TITLE: YOCTANGEE BADEN. This letterbox is located
in Chillicothe, Ohio (Ross County). The city has a beautiful 60 acre
park in the downtown area. It was given the name Yoctangee Park in
1903. That same year, it was discovered that water from a well near
the park lake possessed special medicinal qualities similar to the
water of the Baden-Baden Springs in Germany.In order to make the
waters more accessible, improvements to the site were made, including
a Chinese pagoda built over the well. The well was called the
Yoctangee Baden, and its waters were said to be an effective remedy
for a number of ailments, until the well was damaged by a flood in
1907. While the Yoctangee Baden is not in use today, there is still a
pretty gazebo at the site. This will be your starting point. CLUES:
Go to the gabezo near the lake in Yoctangee Park. Standing at the
west side of the center post,take a reading of 255 degrees. You
should see an old-fashioned lamp post on the other side of the
lake.Go to that lamp post. Then cross the small bridge with the black
railings and proceed to the next (similar) lamp post.Take a reading
of 75 degrees.Go 9 paces to the corner of the stone wall. Follow the
contour of the wall (the lake side) for 5 paces. The letterbox is
hidden in a crack near the top of the wall,behind two smaller rocks.
