Hibernia park is a lovely little Chester county park with several well kept trails. It is an ideal park for walking with a stroller. Laura lives in Chester County so this box is placed there to represent her life today.
To locate Strawberry Shortcake, take the Lake Trail which begins behind the mansion. Stop for a few minutes at the bird feeders - there is a specially built viewing area here so that you can watch the birds without startling them. When you have finished here, continue on the trail, passing marker number 7. Don't be tempted to take the intersecting trails at this marker. When you reach marker number 9, you can take a few minutes to look at any activity on the pond. Remember this bench because you can bring the letterbox back here to stamp in. Continue a little further on the trail till you see a faint trail on the right. Take it. Go up it about 50 feet until you see the big rock. But your box is not there. Instead look across the trail to a smooth barked tree with some raised roots opposite the rock and a little pile of twigs.
Say hello to Strawberry Shortcake for Laura and me.
