Clues

Start by entering Gallows Hill Park. Walk towards the skate park. To the left of the skate park, you will see a paved path. Walk up the hill until you see a fork. Take the right path that continues to lead you uphill. Walk until you see a Four Sisters Tree on your right. Walk 17 paces. You will pass over two cracks in the path. Follow the second crack to your left and you will see a hole in the ground. There you will find your prize.

Continue up the hill until you see an opening in the woods and a series of swing sets on your right. Turn completely around and stand on an arrow. There is a fork in the road. Take the right path, which is a narrow path. Continue until you see a small baseball field. Walk around the fence with the fence on your left. Proceed along the perimeter of the woods. You will see two foul poles, turn left and take the second path on your right and continue up the hill until you reach the vista. Face the water tower and the walk in the opposite direction. On your left, you will see a Six Sisters Tree. At the bottom of the tree, there is a flat rock. The box is behind the rock.
