CLUES: (Box 1 seems to be missing, but you are welcome to try and find it and let me know if I missed it.) From the information sign, Follow the white trail, the Lake will be on your right. You will come to a boardwalk, crossover and continue. you will soon come to second boardwalk, crossover and Continue. After you have crossed over the second boardwalk, Notice a Lagoon to your right ( Always keep an eye on the Lagoon, because this will help you find the Letterbox) Shortly after you pass the Lagoon, The trail will become the white/Orange trail, Stay on the white/orange trail, Follow to a third boardwalk, after you have crossed over the boardwalk, Follow the Orange trail to your right. the Lake still on your right. Continue along the orange trail. you are now across the Lake. ( Remember, Don't Loose site of the Lagoon)
The Lagoon has a cluster of rocks infront of it--almost Looks like a rock IsLand.
When you are DIRECTLY across from the Lagoon ( now on the other side of the Lake) Walk about 100-120 steps (more or Less) to a broken down stone wall to the Left of the trail. ( The Lake just a few feet from the trail, Please be careful not to fall into the Lake) The Letterbox #1 is hidden about 25-35 step up hill under a big flat rock.
Once found, Stamp and Re-Hide.
Now, Continue along the trail. You will soon come to a little red house that is sitting on a Dam at the end of the Lake. Now, Look for a small stone wall to the Left of the trail. The Letterbox #2 is hidden in the Last stone wall facing the Lake. About 4 steps from the end on top covered by a skinny long rock.
