This box was placed in Salt Water State Park in Federal Way and as
previously discussed, effective Jan. 01, there will be a $5
admittance fee - so get there quickly to get it free!

Anniversary Box
Today, December 16, we celebrated our 7th year of wedded bliss! In
commemoration, we placed a letterbox near one of our favorite
vistas. We hope you enjoy the spot as much as we do.

Directions to Salt Water State Park:
Take I-5 to Exit 147. Head West on 272nd St. and cross over Pacific
Highway (aka Hwy 99). Turn right onto 16th Ave. So. Continue to the
Woodmont Dr. S. light and turn Left onto Woodmont Dr. S. The road
curves quite a bit and then becomes Marine View Dr. S. Keep to the
main road until you reach 252nd and turn Left. Turn Left into Salt
Water State Park and park in the first parking lot on your left.

Directions to the Anniversary Box:
Cross the road from the parking lot on the crosswalk. Take the trail
to the restrooms. At the restrooms take the trail at about 130.
Continue on the trail until you pass a large stone chimney on your
right. Continue on the trail at about 200. Pass under a skinny,
twisted Madrone arch. Keep the fencing to your left and pause
occasionally to enjoy the views. The beach is beautiful and on a
clear day you have majestic views across the water to the Olympics!
Find a tall Fir on your right sheltering its young one from the salty
wind. Have a seat on the bench next to the firs and enjoy the
undulating water, rythmically lapping waves and soft, salty breeze
some more! Stand between the trees and bench facing about 50 and
take 9 steps to the 3 ft. stump. The box is there, at its roots,
snug in a den on the South side, hidden behind some bark and a
stone. Stamp in, hide it well and then please continue along the
fence and enjoy the rest of the peaceful scenery. At a hugging fir
and Pacific Madrone the trail curves away to your right and will lead
you back to your vehicle.
This is our 1st completed letterbox - Enjoy!
