Franklin County Park
Near Cedar Grove, Indiana

** Access to the Hilltop overlook is closed in Winter

Difficulty: Rough trail with a slope (down on the way in and up on the way out)

Directions:
This box is in the Franklin County park. From I-74, take the Brookville exit (first exit across the border from Ohio). Go North. You'll pass the Little Historic Baptist church, so you might want to look for clues of that name :-)
When you see the Arby's, take the next road to the left at the traffic light (Blue Creek Rd). Go across the tracks/bridge. The park is a few tenths of a mile on the right. When you enter, stay to the left and look for the square green sign that says "Hilltop overlook" It's a one way loop street. Go up to the overlook and park in front of the shelter on the left (near the bathrooms). Watch for wildlife like turtles, hawks, deer, and pileated woodpeckers (I saw all of those when I placed the first box here). Note: this park has some really nice, private camping spots.

Clues:
Go down the trail that starts near the back corner of the Hilltop shelter. Watch for rocks in the trail. When you see the first ones, count 23 paces down the trail. Look on your left for a fairly big double trunk tree. The microbox is on the backside of the tree under a rock.
Please wedge the rock into the crevice (without crushing the box) so that the forest critters can’t drag it away.
