LETTERBOX #1
Start at the head of the trail
Continue down the stairs and stop at the Prospect Land Trust Map
Turn left and you will be facing a brush pile
Walk to the left of the brush pile for about 40 paces from the sign
You’ll see a smaller tree connected to a bigger tree who’s roots are wrapped around a bigger tree.
The letterbox is hidden in a crevice between the trees and a somewhat large rock. Enjoy!
Go back to the trail and start on #2
