Here are the clues:

Letterbox 3 in Garland,TX USA

GPS Readings
32 degrees 57'10N
096 degrees 43'56W

* short, pleasant walk from parking lot to letterbox
* I didn't see any poison ivy when I placed the box, but avoid touching
or brushing against any three-leafed plants just in case!

DIRECTIONS:
Take LBJ Freeway (635) to Garland.
Exit at Oates Road, go east.
When you get to a stop light at O'Bannion where you see a sign that reads
Audubon Park and Wave Pool, turn right. Follow the road past the Audubon
Park Rec center and Surf and Swim Wave Pool. It will twist behind those
buildings to your left. Follow it past parking areas first near playground
equipment, next past picnic tables. Then it will curve back to the right.
Follow it to a small parking area on your RIGHT (pass the one on your left)
that faces some picnic structures. Park. After you get out of your car,
turn your back on the structures. You are facing the paved trail you want
to be on. Walk across the grass to it and turn to your left. Soon you
will go under the overpass that carries car traffic. When you come out on
the other side, the paved trail forks. Take the fork that goes off to your
right. It curves around to a bench and shortly after that you'll see a
meadow. Counting about 40 paces from the bench, look to your right.
You'll see two man-made structures (I have no idea what these are, but they
are near each other--one is a big round cement thing, I just found out that
the other structure is for people who play frisbee golf--in fact you may
see more of these in this park). Also present is a telephone pole. Take
about 50 paces off the paved trail to your right. Go to the telephone pole.
While at the pole, face the chain thing (frisbee golf goal), do a
1/8 turn to your left and take about 20 paces toward the brush. You will
be stopped by a pile of logs that hide what you seek.

meadow. Walk past it, counting about 350 paces from the bench, then look
to your right. Very near the paved trail, you'll see three skinny trees,
three stumps, and a couple of broken trees that sort of form a
ring...within the ring leaves hide what you seek.
