A Very Good Year

Box Status: Alive and well 5/23/05

Visit The Sleeping Giant Park Association (SGPA) web page at www.sgpa.org for a wonderful color trail map and lots of other great info.

Fairly easy, about 1/2 hour total.

Drive up Chestnut Lane to where the Quinnipiac Trail (blue)crosses the road. There is room for 2 cars to pull off on the west side of the street.
Take the Q Trail to the east and follow it down hill.
Cross the wooden bridge and pass through the stone wall.
Continue along over several gentle ups and downs and cross a wide unmarked trail.
Shortly after this unmarked trail the Q Trail dips more steeply into a valley and climbs the other side. When you get to the top where the trail levels out, stop next to the first smallish blue-blazed tree on the right. Take a reading of 215ยบ and take 15 steps to a rounded, split boulder and look in the crevice for your prize.

Return the way you came. Don't forget the clues to the Texas State Stamp letterbox.
There are dozens of other great boxes at Sleeping Giant, too!
