Only pieces of the original box were found. This box was replaced and a new stamp carved by Rick_in_Boca.



Difficulty: 2/5 stars. Moderate hike (some hills). 1 1/2 hour hike from parking lot to box, with a small 5-minute drive in-between....



You need to complete this clue during the daytime, when the Visitor's Center is open (usually between 10am and 4pm). The facts you'll need to answer these questions can be found by: watching the film at the Visitor's Center; reading the signs at the house next to the farm; reading the signs at the base of the huts; or, reading the signs on the trail itself (but not necessarily in that order). But, which Visitor's Center could it be?

For each of the following questions you'll find four choices; next to the correct answer you'll see a corresponding number. These numbers are then filled into the spaces on the letterbox clue below.

The Questions:

[A] Who commanded the Second Brigade?

Anthony: 200

Helms: 90

Peter: 270

Richard: 40

[B] Which memento is not mentioned?

[C] Who was "the backbone?"

Pennsylvania Line: 4

[D] What day did someone get to eat a whole biscuit?

Tuesday: 42

Wednesday: 18

Saturday: 26

Sunday: 2

[E] What is "an awesome disease?"

[G] Who set up headquarters in the house?

At the next intersection, follow the arrows

Then, at the next intersection, take the path at [B]_______ degrees.
