The Perkiomen Trail Series – Midnight Moon
Sept 9, 2007.
This box is alive and well.
It is trickier to find that some of the other Perky Trail boxes, but it is there!
The Perkiomen Trail stretches from Green Lane, PA all the way to Valley Forge (22 miles in length), and then connects to the Valley Forge bike trail which can take you all the way to Manyunk and Philadelphia.
It is a beautiful trail for hiking or biking, any time of the year.
This is the third of six planned letterboxes for the Perkiomen Trail. All will be placed somewhere along the Trail and have a “space” theme (sun, moon, stars) in honor of our new Adventure Guides group, The StarGazers.
Difficulty: Very easy walk. Suitable for the entire family.
Minimal compass skills are required.
Note: a pace is two steps. i.e. Count a pace every time you step on your right foot.
Note: This box does NOT contain an ink pad stamp. Please bring your own.
Park at the Spring Mountain Trailhead. (Ski area overflow lot)
Head down the trail in a southwesterly direction. This section of the trail is particularly scenic and would be very easily covered by young children on bikes.
Continue walking (or riding) past the “Keep on the Trail” sign.
Eventually you will come to an unusually colored yellow rock on the left side of the trail. (Note: some boxers have described this color more as peachy. Could be I'm a little color blind, could be a seasonal variation thing.)
There is another one just a few yards farther.
Twelve paces past the second big yellow rock, stop.
You should be near a sawed off tree stump, about two feet high. (Left side)
Take a bearing of 160 degrees. Walk 6 paces.
You should be right near a squarish, moss covered rock.
There is quite a neat little hiding place on the Eastern side of this rock.
Please be discrete when stamping and replacing the box since this is a great hiking trail.
Check back on the website for the other Perkiomen Trail Series letterboxes.
Please email us to let us know you found it! trainear@comcast.net
Hope you had fun.
