I've been wanting to place a Letterbox/Hybrid cache in the Lansing
area for a while now. Today I finally got off my butt and did it.
This cache can be reached in one of two ways. Either follow your
GPS to the coordinates listed above, or follow the clues below.
It's your choice. The cache is located on the blue trail. There is
a stamp inside the cache. It is in the Altoids box. Please do not
take this stamp. My ink pad was dried out so until I post it on
here, please bring your own ink pad if you want to stamp your book.
Please also make sure to keep the cache well-covered.
LETTERBOX DIRECTIONS
The coordinates to the starting point are N42 42.549 W84
31.179.
Start at the wooden post with the blue arrow and follow which way
it points. You will be walking through the meadow. The path curves
to the left around a group of trees surrounding a small pond.
Continue on the path until you come to a Y in the trees where you
are given the choice of going over a scary bridge. Continue over
the scary bridge through the trees and out into the meadow
again.
You will pass a bench on the right and come to a Sugar Maple tree
on the left. At the base of this tree there is a rock with a plaque
on it.
From this tree, continue south about 17 paces and you will stop to
the west of a group of trees. The cache is located at the base of
the center tree.
If you wish, you can continue on the blue trail back to your
car. It loops back around to the nature center. When you reach the
paved portion of the trail follow it to the left and you will be
back at the nature center.
Hope you enjoy my first letterbox!
