If you are on 97 heading south it will be on the left side of the road it will be just a small parking area with a small sign stating Rock Springs Wildlife Refuge. On 97 heading North it will be on the right a little ways down the road from the James V. Spignesi Wildlife Management Area.
Pull in and park, enter the trail and you will come to a bulletin board as soon as you go past it there will be a trail on the left. (You need to take this trail to do our Tennessee Letterbox or you can go straight and do the Rock Springs Wildlife Refuge letterboxes first and you can hookup with our box towards the end at the promising views. But if your here just to do the Tennesse box then take the left, right past the bulletin board.) Go in a ways and you will be walking along a stone wall keep on the trail and follow the white dots. you will soon pass through a stonewall continue on and you will cross a small stream. And then you will come to another stream bed and cross it to, you'll be heading down hill for awhile twisting and turning and then yet another stream keep going and soon you will come to a T with a much wider trail. Take a left and head up the hill, when you get to the top you will come to a fork in the trail. Take the smaller trail on the right marked in yellow and white dots. You will soon pass through a stone wall and then you will come to another stream keep following the dots and there will be another small stream. Cross over and you will start going up hill and you will pass through another STONE WALL keep going up some more and you will come to a clearing that has THE MOST PROMISING VIEW. There will be a bench made out of stone for you to sit and look at the beautiful view. You need to sit on the bench, now stand and go straight 6 paces and stop take a reading of due North and there will be a faint path near the edge that leads to a stone wall. (DO NOT TAKE THE BIG PATH BEHIND THE BENCH) Make your way to the stone wall. Now walk down the wall a little and you will come to a small tree and there will be a break in the wall just after. From the break keep going 5 paces and their will be a skinny little tree in the wall near that skinny tree behind a stone door is the Tennessee Letterbox. To return follow the trail back the way you came until you get to the wider trail, go down the hill a ways and there will be a trail on your left with a sign that says over look. Keep going down the wide trail 13 paces and there will be a trail on the right with a tree with a white dot and a tree near a stone wall that says Entrance. take that trail back to your car.
