This is one in a series of boxes planted in the state game lands of northeastern Pennsylvania. If you seek this box, please be aware of hunting seasons. I recommend wearing blaze orange any time of year. I don't recommend seeking this box during deer season, except on Sundays.

State Game Lands 260 is located in Luzerne County, near PA Rt. 11 in Shickshinny. To reach the parking lot you want, take PA-11 into Shickshinny, and turn WEST onto BUTLER ST. In less than half a mile, Butler St. will turn into SHICKSHINNY VALLEY ROAD. Shortly after passing Carson Lane, you will see signs that you have entered State Game Land 260. Keep an eye out on the RIGHT for a parking lot. Park there.

Clues:

* From the lot, carefully cross the road, and continue on the woods road past the gate.

* The road will start to climb.

* When you reach a fork (at Shady Road), turn right.

* You'll pass a strange clearing on your left, and soon the trail will begin to go back downhill slightly.

* When you reach the power line cut again, just walk around and enjoy the outstanding view. There's an awesome boulder a little way downhill to the north on the east side of the power line cut, but the box is not there.

* When you're finished enjoying the view, head back to the threshold between the trail and power line cut. Walk 14 paces at 80*. You should see a V-tree with mossy roots to your right.

* From the V-tree, 4 paces at 210* to a leaning tree.

* Check under the rotting roots.

* Please rehide well.
