This is a 50 caliber ammunition box which is hidden (on Beacon Mountain) at the base of a downed tree. A naturally occurring horizontal crevice exists adjacent to the base, and it is inside of this crevice that the box is hidden.
The doorway to the underground chamber is sealed by a wall of rocks, and it is important that the wall of rocks be rebuilt (when your visit is over and done with) as meticulously as possible. The ground above the box serves as the ceiling of the chamber, if that even makes any sense (the placer of this box is freaked out by the prospect of a thief stealing their investment).
Inside of the box, you will find at the very top of the box a log book in which for you to record your visit (you will of course also find a stamp for you to provide yourself with a stamp impression in your personal scrapbook of memories), and deep inside the very bottom of the box, frivolous trade items. The stamp was professionally created specifically for the purpose of this box.
In order to find the box, you will need to utilize three maps. The three maps can be viewed as a single P.D.F. for you to print out. The link to the P.D.F. is included at the bottom of this L.B.N.A. webpage.
The first map (a map that was created on the morning of Saturday, May 26th, 2012) shows the approximate location of the box in relation to the other locations on Beacon Mountain. The box is located in a picnic area, so it is important to search in the early morning when there will not be people having picnics. The picnic area is located along a dirt road. It is illegal to drive an unauthorized vehicle on the dirt road, so if you drive an unauthorized vehicle and you get caught by the cops, then please do not blame me.
The second map is a handwritten map that was created in the afternoon of Saturday, May 26th, 2012. This map was not drawn to scale. The map was created after I walked from the Beaconcrest hotel and then discovered the hiding spot.
The third map (not drawn to scale) was hastily created in the evening of Saturday, April 11th, 2015 (the evening in which the box was finally placed in its hiding spot). The box was carried from Bob's Corner Store, up the red trail staircase, then down the yellow trail, then up the white trail. The map is not meant to be taken as seriously as the two 2012 maps, but if you choose to use the white trail to reach the box, then the map may still prove useful.
If you have difficulty downloading the PDF then please click on the link that says "contact the placer" and I will be willing to send them to you as an attachment (due to my busy schedule there is no guarantee that I will be able to read your message the same day that you send me the message).
