-----------------------------
All along the river-trail were many voices calling…
Knibbs, The Trail-Makers
The quest for this box begins in a clamor of voices – from the hawks in their cages, the owls in their enclosures, and the bees in their city. Turn to your right as you face all of them and make your way along the paved path to the start of the Grove-Portage Trail. Just past the Sugar Shack on your right the path divides, and from here the only voice calling to guide you will be that of the box itself. Go left and follow it past the I, over a small wooden bridge, past the H, past a bench, and past the G to a signpost and a divide. Turn to the right here and walk on to the curve in the path where a wooden sign-booth and bench sit across from each other. Can you hear the faint call of the box over the regular sounds of the quiet wood? It will be clearer if you go to the left of the small wooden fence and stand at the E, then sight 180 degrees downhill towards the water and walk approximately 45 paces to a large V-tree. At its base, on the water side, the box lies waiting. Stamp in and rehide carefully, then return to the trail and continue along it over another wooden bridge back to the place you started and the chorus of wildlife voices near the Nature Center.
