THIS BOX REPLACES THE ONE THAT WENT MISSING. New box, with a different stamp.
The Seven Pillars of the Mississinewa is a geological landform found along the Mississinewa River in Miami County, Southeast of Peru. The area used to be a trading post and now it is owned by both the Miami Indians and Acres Land Trust. For more information: http://www.indianamiamis.org/text/today_seven_pillars.html
Clues: Make your way to downtown Peru. Travel down SR19 south and cross the Wabash. Immediately turn left on SR124 that skirts the river. Drive approximately 2-3 miles and turn right on 300S. If you cross the Mississinewa River, you've gone too far. Travel along 300S until you see a sign for Mississinewa Rd (it's small and doesn't look like a road, the sign is often overgrown. Look for a black and yellow diagonal striped sign on the left that marks the road). Turn left and follow this road along the river to it's end at a gate that says "Miami Indians". Look out over the river to see the Seven Pillars. After you've had your look, go back the way you came approximately 1/2 mile to the Seven Pillars Nature Preserve on your left. Go to the trailhead and follow the trail through the grass to the main gate. Enter and sign in. Continue on the trail and you'll come to a large tree that is blocking the path. Go around it on the left and follow the trail along the babbling brook. The trail will head uphill and away from the brook. At the top of the incline, you'll come to a 3 way intersection. From the middle of the intersection, take a reading of 170 degrees. 5 or so paces at this heading will lead you to your prize. Container is small, please rehide better than you found it!
No ink pad or pen. Bring yer own! Walk is less than 1/2 mile. Trail may be VERY muddy after a prolonged rain.
