This is a short, pleasant hike through woods along a lovely river.
The box is in the town of Ashfield, MA. You must start your journey by finding where Bear River Rd. and March Rd. intersect with Baptist Corner Rd.
From this point, you must go down to the end of Bear River Rd. and park off to the side, just before the pavement ends. Follow the road past the Bridge is Closed sign into the woods (the road has become a dirt track). Along the way you will see a sign to the right indicating old forts from the French and Indian war period. Continue until the road ends at the Bear River. Note the Historic marker regarding Huntstown. Follow the trail downstream about a quarter mile (or possibly less, it feels like more with kids).
On the right of the trail is the elbow tree,
Follow the point and you will see
To the left and up the hill,
The fallen oak that lies so still.
To the top of the trunk, hobble or bound,
There the Huntstown quarry will be found.
