(No relation.) Find where Ashfield Road becomes Blue Mountain Road. Find the fenced cell phone tower next to where the A.T. crosses the road. Park next to or across the street from the tower and follow the white blazes in an easterly direction up a gradual but very long climb. (By the way, the state gameland boundary also uses white blazes for some inexplicable reason, but it wasn't an issue for us.) Eventually the trail levels out and begins a gradual descent. You may see an interesting V tree on your left that turns into a triple. No box there, at least not as far as I know. The trail levels out before heading up again. Just past the stone marker, follow the trail into Carbon County. You will pass an enormous rock formation on your right, and then an open area, before reaching the fork where the blue-blazed South Trail heads off to the right. The box is to your left on the white-blazed A.T., but it's not that far if you want to circle back and take the blue trail.

From the fork, about eight paces into the A.T. you will reach what looks like a fork but isn't. "Turn" left at the fork that isn't and head uphill. Very soon, the trail curves to the right and uphill with pines on either side. Behind the first pine on the left under a SPOR and pine straw.

If you reach the T, you've gone too far.
