Will Rogers was one of the most popular and highest paid actors in Hollywood and "America's most beloved citizen." From his start in vaudeville theater with a trick roping act, he rose to world-wide fame as a columnist, "cowboy philosopher", aviation enthusiast, philanthropist, radio personality, and movie star. During the 1920s, he bought land in Santa Monica, where he developed a ranch and spent time relaxing with family and friends. After his death in 1935, his widow donated the ranch to the state of California and it became a State Historic Park named in his honor. There are many activites available, including hiking the Inspiration Point Loop Trail, where this box can be found.

Directions:
From PCH go north on Chautauqua Blvd to Sunset Blvd and go right to Will Rogers State Park Rd, then left to parking for Will Rogers SHP. There is a parking fee but the park is free.

Clues:
From the parking lot find the trail heading up the mountainside to left of fenced-in tennis courts, west of ranch house and ranger office. After a quick tenth of a mile up a switching single track, you will reach a wide dirt service road, Inspiration Point Loop Trail. Go left (west) on it
