Baby Maeghan's Baptism Letterbox

Dragon's Home Page

Planted by Chief Cub (now Teen Club) in celebration of his new sister's baptism!
With help from The Dragon (one of Maeghan's godfathers) and some other cubs and a little panther (some of Maeghan's other siblings).

Replaced with slightly new clues on Oct. 31, 2004.  Re-replaced August, 2007, with yet more different clues...

Everything is easy with this real quick box.

Travel through Sparta, WI on Hwy 16 until you see a large man with a handlebar mustache riding a large old-time bicycle on the south side of the road. Park near this monument either on the city roads nearby or in the circle around the picnic shelter near him.

Admire this monument to the bicycle trails around the city.  Imagine what would happen if this statue came to life and the gentleman started biking away! Start heading down the bike path he'd take (in the direction he's facing). You'll know you're on the right path if you're told you're heading to "Downtown Sparta". You'll be ok as long as you're not on a horse or motorized vehicle. You can stop and exercise if you'd like to.

Depending on how tall you are, you might have to duck under the bridge as you follow the path. (The gentleman would never squeeze through here!) Pass all of the wooden bridges on your right, keeping the river to your right as you follow the path.

Eventually, you will make your way through to the back of the park where the path you are on splits at a small garden.  The left path continues to a road while the right path goes down along the river and a bench.  As you begin to take the right path, you'll see a wooden fence which was built by the CWC (note the marker on the first post).  Under the fence and next to this post is a medium-sized rock.  Baby Maeghan's box is safely hiding under this rock.  Be sure no one sees you get the box.  The bench at the end of this path is a good place to "stamp-up".

Replace the box and its contents well and don't let anyone see you.  Thanks!

Enjoy!
