From Kernville head north on Sierra Hwy and just past Johnsondale turn right on the Lloyd Meadows road (22S82). Set your odometer and continue up this road passing Camp Whitsett. At 3.8 miles park just off the road on your right near a Forest Service pipe gate and a Forest service sign for AREA 4. Find and follow the faint path up hill in a S.E. direction. When you get to the top walk around the S.E. (left) side of the first large rock formation until you get to the crack separating the first two rocks. This crack will be on your right and if you are thin enough you could walk between the two rocks. From the entrance of the crack take 6 steps N.E. to the top of some boulder steps down. Go down these few boulder steps and when at the bottom step take 46 steps at 80 degrees down hill. The letterbox is hidden behind a bread loaf sized rock at the end of a large rock slab. This rock slab will be approximately 10 steps long and the box will be hidden on the end nearest to Elephant Knob.
From the letterbox The Needles can be seen at 360 degrees, Dome Rock can be seen at 340 degrees, Elephant Knob can be seen at 140 degrees and the first monolith you passed by at the top of the hill can be seen at 280 degrees.

When researching our clues please be aware that when previous searchers list “ATTEMPTED” on the clue sheets it may reflect more on their abilities as finders than indicate whether the box is viable or not. We do monitor our clues and boxes pretty well and appreciate the notes written to us by those that find or attempt our letterboxes.

Please contact placer directly or through the LBNA chat list regarding status rather than unofficial databases. Up to date status can only be ascertained from placer, as other information services will not have current data. The placer does not appreciate listing information about this letterbox on unauthorized information services.
