The Perkiomen Trail Series – Milky Way

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 fifth 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.

You can park in the lot next to Harpoon Louie’s in Collegeville. Someone sent me a note that this establishment is now called Great American Pub.
As of 9/9/07 it is now called DaVinci's Pub. Looks like a pretty cool place for a drink.

Head north on the trail towards Green lane.
You will see a split rail fence on the right.
Pass a newly remodeled, old stone/stucco house.

Keep heading north.
You will come to an unreadable rusty sign (on the left).
Directly behind this, up the rock wall about 8 feet, is a hole in the rocks. You can stand on the stump for better access. Kids, you better send dad up there to get this one.
Please replace the stones on top of the box so it doesn't wash away. Thanks.

Please be discrete when stamping and replacing the box since this is a busy 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.
