2. Walk to the bench and the 3rd marker. ( just a wooden stake no # ) . Take a seat if you need too. Look over your right shoulder and see a large tree- find box #2 behind that tree under a SPOT.
Box#3 is in the same area. with your back to box 2, look diagonally to your left and see a fallen tree with the roots worn away from years of decay. Parallel to this fallen tree is another fallen tree with its roots showing too. you will see a small 3-in-1 half way to the fallen trees you seek. Wedged in the center with a rock at about knee high is Box#3.(SW295-230).
Box#4

2. Turn around and see 2 cut pieces of LARGE "seats" on the right of the trail- next to them is a fallen tree that is parallel to the trail.
3. 2 Steps before them see a make-shift trail into the woods by this large fallen tree. (SW204) at "seats".

Final box #8
1. Go back to trail and continue your walk on the trail. You'll pass the original Ladyhawk on the left under that fallen tree that I have adopted. Yeah, it's still there!!! Go up the hill at this part of the trail. You'll start seeing those pink/white shiny rocks on the ground.
2. Walk up the hill. At the top see a Huge tree that is about 10-12 FT tall- nature made it this way. Behind it you will find the final box and the mini logbook. Use your thumb print signature and make a face. Remember to sign in with your trail name and date found. FTF message me for your prize!!! 2nd FTF gets a prize too!!!
Return to the trail that will wind down and up to the paved trail to get back to your car.
