These letterboxes are located at the Coyote Hills Regional Park. This park has an extensive network of paved trails, and is a great place to spend the day biking, birding, or just strolling around. Once you've found my letterboxes, be sure to check out the superlative views of the San Francisco Bay.
Box #1 Orient Yourself.
A good way to get oriented in any park is to stop by the park's visitor center. Leave your car at the center's parking lot, face the water, and cross the street from the right end of the parking lot. Follow the bike path to the right, and at the intersection of paths, turn right. Pass a damaged boardwalk/dock on your left and you'll come to a bench. Although you haven't come very far, it might be nice to sit down and check out the wild life. While you're at is, why not give the bench a good looking-over?
Box #2 The Atomic Letterbox (currently missing...hopefully I will replace)
Continue along the path, and pass the parking area. Almost immediately, you'll cross to a sluiceway mechanism across the street. Walk across the metal ramp, and examine the right side of the structure.
Box #3 The Earth and Moon
Return to the parking area that you just passed and get on the bike path heading away from the road. You'll pass through a gate, and go past a no fishing sign on your right. Then you'll see a low concrete wall. Across from this barrier's elbow, is a flat reddish rock. What a great shady place for another rest! As you're so comfy now, you may as well examine this lovely rock bench of yours.
Box #4 Macro Economics (I have a report that this sign has been removed. Drat!)
Continue along the paved path. Pass Dairy Glenn (otherwise known as the Ground Squirrel Jamboree) and take a good look at the next speed limit sign.
Two Requests:
Please make sure that the lids are really snapped on tightly.
And, since the logbooks are so very small, please drop me a note when you've found these letterboxes.
Thanks!
As a final note, I would like to mention that this box is very near my Monarch Migration letterbox. If you've made the trip, why not swing by and get those, too?
