CLIMB DOWN INTO THE OLD FOUNDATION AT THE FAR END, WHERE THE GROUP OF
TREES ARE GROWING OUT OF IT.
WITH YOUR BACK TO THOSE TREES AND THE BACK OF YOUR LEGS TOUCHING
THE FOUNDATION STONES COUNT 9 STEPS ( HEEL TO TOE ).
THIS PLACES YOU ABOUT MIDWAY IN THE OLD CELLAR HOLE.
NOW WITH YOUR BACK STILL TO THE TREES ( AND THE TRAIL FACING YOU )
LOOK TO YOUR RIGHT. BEHIND SOME LOOSE STONES YOU WILL FIND THE HERMAN COVEY LETTERBOX. NICE JOB. **REHID IT WELL FOR THE NEXT GUY. THANKS !!
