Please assume all ADG boxes are MIA unless someone you know has confirmed their active status recently. We have been out of the game for quite a while and have not been maintaining our boxes.
Goose Creek Boxes
Placed January 20, 2003
Take Rt. 7 to Golf Club Rd (from Leesburg turn right, from Tysons turn left) and follow it to the end. Park in the lot on the left. This is an easy hike and about a one mile round trip through a small park area honoring Margurite Cornwell Joseph who loved this area.
Pillar of the Letter Boxing Community
From the parking lot walk up to the road and go left over the old green steel bridge. At the end of the bridge take the trail to the left and go under Rt. 7 (paved trail here, will turn to dirt soon). Follow the trail along the river to your first small gully. Cross the gully and stop on the other side. Look right and spot a large gray rock, about 18 steps off the trail on this side of the gully. Box is between the large rock and a small tree to it's left, under smaller rocks.
Rusted Butterfly
Return to the trail and continue with the river on your left. Go over several fallen logs and more gullies. The trail will wind away from the river and then back to it. Spot the new stone bridge that crosses Goose Creek. Cross over a stream (there is a stone and dirt crossing area) and go under the third arch of the bridge from the right. Pick up the trail again next to the river and follow it to some old stone ruins of a mill (?). Here the rusted gears to the right were hit by a falling tree that is still there. Follow its trunk up the hill to its roots and the box is hidden in the trunk under some rocks. Back track on the trail to your car.
