Landis is a first-name (given-name) believed to mean “rugged land” or “grassy land”. This box is placed in honor of my new grandson named Landis.
From U. S. Highway 50 driving east from Placerville, turn right (south) on Camino Heights Drive (it is the second right turn past Apple Café and the first right turn after Shilla Sushi). Just past the gas station, turn left on Vista Tierra Drive. Turn right on Camino Hills Drive. Turn right on Halcon Road. Park on the left (east) side of the road just past the white sign reading “End County Maintained Road”. The El Dorado Trail crosses the road here.
Walk east on the El Dorado Trail. This trail is on the old railroad bed of the Michigan/California Railroad. You will pass homes on the left, then the trail curves to the left and into a tall pine forest. Walk past two fairly large boulders (with some letters engraved on them) on the right and continue on the trail. Now look for three slightly smaller boulders on the right just to the north of a tall Madrone Tree (has red bark). If you miss and walk past the boulders, you will soon arrive at white-painted wooden angled gate-like structures on both sides of the trail. Turn around and walk back about 177 steps to the three boulders now on the left side of the trail. The box is on the south side of the tallest boulder under a rock covered with a piece of bark which is covered by some plant debris.
Please be sure the contents are double ziplocked when you put them back in the box (i.e. the stamp is in a ziploc, the book is in a ziploc, and the two are in the larger ziploc bag). Please rehide the box well under the rock, bark and plant debris so that it can not be seen from any direction.
I will not be able to check on this box very often; so, please let me know if you find it or if it needs attention or is missing:
