Nestled behind the Sandusky Mall, amid a sea of recent commercial
and residential development, Pelton Park contains several distinct
ecological zones including forest, meadow and stream bottom. Over
150 plant species and dozens of birds, mammals, reptiles, and
amphibians call this park home.
To locate this letterbox, find the parking lot at the end of
Pelton Park Drive. Leave your car there, and head past the picnic
meadow to the nature trailhead. A stream runs across the entry to
the nature area, and the flow rate varies with the season. You
might get your feet wet! Two trails start here, and you will take
the one that goes to the right. Continue to veer to the right as
side trails branch off. In the wintertime, you will see that you
are quite near to a neighborhood of houses.
When a side trail to the right goes toward the stream, maintain
your course along the main trail. You may be able to see a blue
house beyond the park boundary. As you come near the end, you will
see a shattered giant to the right of the trail. The cache lies at
his base and under his body.
As for the blue socks, i hid this letterbox hybrid on a cold
day, when i was wearing a pair of toe socks and a pair of soccer
socks over them. And the soccer socks came from bennet, who has a
cache called
Yellow Socks. I had a rubber stamp with socks, but no yellow
stamp pad, so my cache is Blue Socks. But my socks are still yellow
socks.
Hidden with permission of the Erie MetroParks in honor of their
40th anniversary.
Happy 40th, Erie
MetroParks!!
