SORCERER’S STONE:
The following box was made by Grace to You who is currently residing in Maine. She mailed the box to Missouri where it planted as part of the Mid-MO Letterboxing Society’s 4th Annual Spring Gathering: “Letterboxing on the Hogwarts Express” May 3-4, 2008 in Binder Park in Jefferson City. This box was planted with permission from the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation Department. For more information about the park including a map, please visit: http://www.jeffcitymo.org/parks/binderpark.html.

Driving Directions: From the Missouri River Bridge in Jefferson City (along Highways 63 / 54 / 50) take Hwy 50 west (toward Sedalia) about five miles and exit at Apache Flats. Go about one mile and turn right on Binder Lake Road. When the road comes to a “T,” turn left on Rainbow Dive, pass the Campground Road on your right, cross over the bridge and turn right on Binder Lake Road. Follow Binder Lake Road north and then east until you can park near the playground at the north end of the lake.

Clue: Please note: one pace = two steps.
From kiosk near playground, walk uphill on the GREEN TRAIL. Soon after you enter the woodline, trail forks. Go L Cross five drainages (some of them may be quite muddy and wet if it’s been raining). After the fifth drainage, path curves left uphill. Look in base of 10’ snag on your right to find the Sorcerer’s Stone. UPDATE: 08/04/12. The snag has since fallen and is decomposing. Look for it just after the bend and before the next drainage. It is a large Lock-n-lock box and VERY close to the trail, so when re-hiding it, please cover it with a rock and then some bark and leaf debris.

This trail is heavily used by bikers, hikers and mushroom hunters so please move away from the snag when stamping in to avoid revealing the location to Muggles.
