Not sure of the mileage but allow a bit more than an hour for both.

Take exit 8 off of route 9, head southwest on Beaver Meadow Road. About three quarters of a mile on the right is a small pull off.

Park here and take the green trail past a sign board, over a wooden bridge and head uphill. The blazes disappear for awhile but when you start downhill and into the laurel you’ll see them again. Continue on, cross another bridge, then go uphill over rocky ledge and almost at the top take a left, still on green. The green trail appears to go straight AND left but you need to go left. This will be at a Y intersection just after the steepest rocky ledge area. The trail is mostly level here, pass a few tall pine trees on the left and then go down into a valley of tall pines. At the first one look southerly (left) for a long slanted ledge about 60 feet off trail. Halfway along the ledge is a boulder hiding some plastic under it’s northeast corner.

Continue on the green trail uphill and down, coming to another nice wooden bridge. Go uphill over smooth rock ledge, through some more laurel and just before the trail becomes VERY STEEP stop where two trees are lying across the path. Go to the root ends, take 15 steps north to the round topped ledge and look under the north side. There are two round topped ledges so choose the left one.

Cover both boxes completely. Bring markers and inks. Green, Brown and red would do nicely.
