BACKGROUND INFORMATION
"Johnny Appleseed was a legendary American who planted and supplied apple trees to much of the United States of America. Many people think that Johnny Appleseed was fictional character, but he was a real person."
"Johnny was a skilled nurseryman who grew trees and supplied apple seeds to the pioneers in the mid-western USA. Appleseed gave away and sold many trees. He owned many nurseries in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Illinois, and Indiana, where he grew his beloved apple trees. Although he was a very successful man, Appleseed lived a simple life. It is said that as Johnny traveled, he wore his cooking pot on his head as a hat!"
"Johnny Appleseed was born in Leominster, Massachusetts, on September 26, 1774. His real name was John Chapman, but he was called Johnny Appleseed because of his love for growing apple trees."
"Johnny died at the age of 70; he is buried in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He had spent 50 years growing apple trees and traveling to spread his precious trees around his country."

CLUES
You are looking for a small little road side rest 2.9 miles north of the Nelsonville Train Depot in Nelsonville along Rt. 33. The sign at this little rest spot/park of sorts says, "Johnny Appleseed Road Side Park.
***If you miss pulling off, there are at least two other places just up ahead where you can turn around and try again. If you go as far north as an old abandoned brick church on your left, you have gone too far.
*Go to the APPLE tree behind the sign.
*Go 22 paces @ 240 * to a broken off concrete marker that says "R of W" on one side.
*From there go 13 paces @ 280*.
*Behind pieces of wood inside the split of the base of the tree is Johnny's hat.
