The Perkiomen Trail Series – Evening Sun
9/4/2007
Wasn't sure, but this one WAS missing.
Replaced today.
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 sixth and final box letterbox for the Perkiomen Trail. All have been 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 in the Betzwood Picnic area of Valley Forge Park.
This is on the northern side of the Schuylkill River.
Hop on the Perkiomen Trail and head West (towards Oaks).
You will pass a mile marker “22”. This is the distance to Philadelphia, not a PT marker.
Soon you will pass a “Please stay on Trail” sign and then the 30 mile PT marker.
When you reach the crossroads, take a right up the wooded trail.
Count 42 paces along this trail.
There is a hollow tree approximately 4 paces off the trail on the left hand side.
This box is protected by some large “diamondback rattlers” so be careful.
Please be discrete when stamping and replacing the box since this is a great hiking trail. Recover with bark an leaves.
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.
