12/2/05 If you are saying to yourself "I thought Grow in Grace placed this box" -- you are right. They have moved, so I've adopted their 4 boxes for them, but all credit goes to them for carving and placement. Would love to hear all comments on box condition -- Double Tree.

Directions:
Go to the Raymond Street entrance of Powell Butte. When you get to where the entrance trail meets Elderberry trail go to the right 147 7 year old steps from the marker. Look for 5 maple trees, 2 of which are dead on the right side of the trail. It is in the live one closest to the trail, in the front of the tree in the roots covered with bark it hides.
