Go to the park entrance and face the north direction. Then, walk straight ahead towards the first bench you see, about 70 meters from the entrance. Face east then turn as you count about 63 º degrees towards the north direction and you'll see a tree with a birdhouse near the bank of the river, just about 307 meters from the bench. Go there.

Grab your phone and open your compass. Go to the park entrance and face the north direction.

Then, walk straight ahead towards the first bench you see, about 70 meters from the entrance.

I'll be waiting for you there, like I have always and will always be.
