From route 4 take Punch Brook Rd. south for 1.3 miles. Turn left on Case Rd. and go 0.3 mile to turn left on George Washington Turnpike. After 0.1 mile, turn left onto Stone Rd. (unpaved) and go 0.6 mile to parking for two cars. Take the blue with red dot trail east.
The beginning of the hike goes a bit uphill but after that the hills are pretty gradual until you reach the box. This (I believe) is the north slope of Wildcat Mountain. Not too many landmarks for this box but many side trails from bikes etc. so pay close attention to the blazes until (after 15 to 20 min?) you come to a slight uphill with a slanting rock ledge to the right of the trail. When the trail starts to descend on the other side (this is the steepest downhill) look on the right for a field of boulders in a laurel thicket. Look under south side of the boulder closest to the trail and to the left of a two sister tree.
If you come to a stonewall, you went just a bit too far. Round trip should be about one and a half miles.
