Day is Done and Day is Done Part #2 were placed on the Francis P. Ryan bikeway, also known as the Northampton Bikeway. This path travels from Route 5 in Northampton to Look Park in Florence (this is not the Norwottuck Trail; it is one of its extensions). Thanks to Hi-Cur for the help with planting these two boxes.

This series is under 2 miles round trip. Check out Among the Leaves III series as you hike!

Park at 191 King Street (Route 5) in Northampton. The driveway to the parking lot is between fenced-in electrical equipment and a Taco Bell restaurant. To begin, exit the lot and turn left onto the sidewalk. At the crosswalk, cross King Street to enter the trail.

Find the first path on the right. You should be able to see a boardwalk through the trees - at least, we could in late April. Take 32 steps down the path, to a large log on the left. Two feet in on the back side, find the Day is Done letterbox behind a smaller log.

Continue down the bikeway. Pass under the Jackson Street overpass. Soon, spot a large downed tree's stump on the left, slightly uphill. Look behind it in a protected spot for the Day is Done Part #2 letterbox. Head back, or complete the Among the Leave III series.
