From the intersection of Kernville Road and Burlando Road, head north along Burlando Road until it ends at the Whiskey Flats trail head. Park here and start your journey. Be sure to bring plenty of water as there is almost no shade along the trail. As always in the wild, keep an eye out for rattlesnakes and other wildlife.
Box 1 The Alten Wedding Bells and Box 2 The Love Birds of Bull Run
Stay on the main trail 'til you reach Bull Run creek and cross the creek on the stone bridge. From the creek go up the trail about 15 steps turn left and look at the base of the first bush and then under a pile of rocks. Both boxes are planted together. You'll notice some unique designs on the stamp, our dog Lucy decided to do some carving of her own.
Our daughter was married at Mountain River Adventures Camp on 3/23/02 and this box was dedicated to our MRA friends who helped make the wedding site possible.
Continue down the trail northbound. You will pass by the old wood and barbed wire fence intersecting the trail and remnants of another. At the end of a large clearing is the next wood post and barbed wire fence that intersects the trail, stop. This fence seems to start at the trail and continues off to your right . Walk 44 steps past the fence post along the trail and you will pass a huge cottonwood tree on your right. Continue along the trail for another 135 steps. Look to your right and see a burnt fence line running east to west. Head to this fence and walk east along it toward the river. At the end of the fence line will be a small oak tree, box is at the base under a spor on the east side.
#4 Buzzard’s Perch
Return to the main trail and continue quite a ways up river as the trail gently rises. You will reach a steep uphill section as the trail goes around a small hill. Just about at the top of the steep section you will see barbed wire and wooden fence posts on both sides of the trail. Look at the solitary oak that makes up a corner of the fence on your right and go to the first metal fence post at 300 degrees then 2 steps north to a rock carne near a bush. If you were rafting this section of the river the rapid just above you would be “Buzzard’s Perch" The brush is too thick here to get to the actual rapid.
