The Apple Dumpling Gang added it's 4th state to its list of placed
boxes this weekend when Cat and Sarah visited Allentown. We hope the
local boxers in PA like our offering and will come for more in MD and
VA!

West Park is located on Turner and Linden streets, between 15th and
16th. Enjoy looking around the neighborhood here too, there is some
amazing architecture and wonderful homes.
Rumor has it that John loved to walk alone in West Park on cool
autumn days and look at the trees. He usually started at the band
shell and walk across the grass to the tall Victorian fountain.
There is a circular cement path around the fountain with four spurs.
Today he took the second path to the left and wandered past his
favorite large tree with white peeling bark. At the next circular
area John took the second path to the right. At the T he took a left
and then the next right. He followed this sidewalk towards the
fence. Where the slated picket fence meets a taller privacy fence,
he looked down behind the left edge of the privacy fence, and found a
perfect hiding place for his letterbox, under a few rocks and a scrap
of concrete! Now there was another reason to visit the park.
