Directions: take route 44 west from Avon-Canton, turn north on route 181
and follow American Legion Forest signs. When 181 intersects with route
318, go straight across onto West River Road heading north towards
Riverton. At 2.7 miles you'll see a large boulder on the left side of the
road and a brown and yellow sign for the Henry R. Buck Trail. Fishermen
have made several turn-off parking areas on the left side of the road.
0.3 miles north of this sign is the trail outlet sign where you will exit
after finding the box. The clues are written to be followed from the
southern entrance.
Difficulty: This is a 2 mile loop, pretty steep going up, easy coming
down, clues: easy
Leave Only Footprints
Follow the blue blazes the whole way and you can't go wrong. As you leave
the road it's a steep climb through the forest but it does level out with
large rocks on your right. After going through a bramble covered path you
again go uphill on a very rocky path till you come to large rock cliff
where the trail turns left and goes over a quaint stone bridge, coming
upon an old foundation on the left (the old cheese box mill) and then a wooden bridge. After a
short downhill and just as a set of steps comes into view, you'll have a large boulder on the left with a good size twin sister tree behind it. Look behind the tree. After rehiding the box climb the steps to a huge rock face with a
dedication plaque up very high, on your right is a rock "bench" to sit.
The trip down is pretty uneventful except for one surprising uphill
and an "elbow" tree on your left. Walk carefully along the road to your
car and I hope you had as much fun finding this as I had planting it.
Take Only Pictures
Follow the directions for Leave Only Footprints and after stamping in
continue on the blue trail, down the "stairs" following the twists and
turns that bring you to the final uphill stretch after which the trail
levels out and begins a gradual decent. Just before the "elbow" tree (the elbow tree has lost part of it's limb and now looks like a candy cane wannbe or a backwards 7) find
a large, flat boulder which could be a picnic table, to the west side of
the boulder under another rock's overhang, under a slab of wood you will find the second letterbox. Stamp in, re hide carefully, continue to the road where
your car is parked.
