The clues below BEGIN from Devils Hopyard Vista -- start by taking the Orange Vista trail up to the Vista.

At the Vista while standing on the rocks facing the overlook, look right and find the path of the crooked and twisted trees. Follow the path for about 30 adult paces, bearing right as you make your way down the path. After the 30 paces, at your left you will see a rocky ledge. Continue on for another 10 paces under a fallen tree, and look for the tree trunk (2-3 foot in length) that points the way. Find the fallen "Y" shaped tree, and find the box. Please make an entry in my notebook to let me know you swam by!
