"Lady, this is almost Almost Heaven."
"It does really satisfy."
"Hey, do I smell something over there in the brush?"
"Tramp, let's stay focused and head up these stairs. Cats may have nine lives, but we have only Seven."
"Wow, now that we're headed downhill this path is getting really rocky. We'd better watch our step. And I'm not looking forward to going back up."
"Tramp! Surely you're not suggesting we're over the hill?"
"Pigeon, you look just as good as ever. But my energy reserves are feeling Hollow."
"Tramp?"
"Yeah, Pidge."
"Do you think it's a little incongruous, the author using us beloved childrens' characters to introduce the first entry in what is sure to become an iconic series, simply to force in a geographic reference? I mean, there are plenty of other boxes where we'd make more sense. But for a stamp of a ceremonial mask of the Bakota, most of whom are found in the Ogoue-Ivindo, Gabon's least densely populated province?"
"Iconic?! He wishes."
"Tramp?"
"Yeah, Pidge."
"Breaking the fourth wall is so 1596."
"True, but you started it. While we're on the subject, don't you think we should stick to dialogue more consistent with our characters?"
"I don't know why he's giving us these lines."
"Oh, great, now here's a cease and desist letter. We're out of here."
After continuing north across the rocky streams in this valley, follow the white blazes up a rise, where an unmarked trail leads off to the right. Unless someone has been through with a chain saw, you will need to step over a large fallen tree before heading up another short hill. At the top of the rise there is a fallen tree to the right of the trail where you may choose to stamp in. Going down the hill, you will pass under a very large fallen tree and pass by a wall of rock to the left before reaching an enormous Oak V tree on the right. Facing across the trail and up the hill, there is a good sized tree, behind which you will find a SPOR. (I think it's a tulip poplar.) Facing back downhill, there is poison ivy to the left of the tree to avoid. Reseal and recover well so that the box doesn't get washed downhill in the rain.
This location has no vistas. However, the sounds are exquisite. Take time to listen.
From the lowest point to the highest point is probably about a 300 foot gain.
Round trip is probably about 1.4 miles.
