Update - I haven't gotten any notifications to people finding this box which leads me to believe it is probably missing.

This is the first box in a Harry Potter series. In the first Harry Potter book, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," Harry is sorted into Gryffindor house by the magical sorting hat. This box is in honor of that event.

Wichita Falls is located at the intersection of Hwy287 and I44. There is enough to do in the area that you could easily spend the weekend here. For more information, visit http://www.wichitafalls.org/index.htm

Lake Wichita is a small lake on the south side of town with several jogging paths, ball fields, and what seems to be an extremely large pile of dirt, that Wichitans affectionately refer to as "the mountain."

From Hwy287 North, take Hwy 82 West when it splits off. Take the Fairway exit and go left on Fairway. Go several miles, crossing Southwest Parkway, until the road ends and you have to go left or right. Turn left here into the park. Park in the parking area and walk to the playground. Find the light post next to the playground. From the post, walk due west to the road. Cross over the road and you will see a tree with a wire cage around the trunk. Directly behind this tree is a cedar tree. It is one of a group of three, but is the far left of the group. The box is on the backside at the base of the tree.
