Missing - 9/17/05. We will recarve and replace

Enter Hartwood Acres from the Saxonburg Blvd. entrance. Park at the mansion parking lot. Walk up the path toward the mansion entrance (be sure to stop an enjoy the snail to the left of the path). Take the right at the Y in the path, go up the stairs and follow the path to the archway. Go through the double archway (past the pay phone) and out the other door. Stop for a rest room break before hitting the trail! Follow the brick driveway to the left, then go right on to the paved road. Go past the equipment tents and look for the trail entrance on the right with the black and red blazes. Enter trail and follow. After a little bit, you'll see the red blazes, follow those red blazes straight through the intersection. When the trail Ts, take a left. You'll shortly past large cut logs. Cross the paved road, and enter the trail on the other side. Go up the little hill. You'll go through a 2 tree "V." Wind around the path until you come to a cut tree, then a fallen tree that is leaning over the path, then another cut tree right in a row. Walk to the roots of the last cut tree. Face away from those roots and walk 3 or 4 steps. To your left will be a fallen rotted tree. And what you seek is in the end of that tree. Please re-hide well, these paths are well traveled. And let us know if you find it - it's our first box in the wild!

This area is dog and child friendly. It's a relatively easy hike and will probably take about 10-15 minutes each way.
