This is the first in a series of 28 boxes. They are hidden all over the West and Midwest in 14 states.

Difficulty: Easy
Distance to box: 1/8 mile
Type: Microbox
To get to Lake Tenkiller:
From the town of Gore head north on highway 100. After a few miles you will see a sign on the right for Marval Family Camping Resort.
Continue on 100 for about 5 miles until you see a sign for Lake Tenkiller Dam. Turn right and take the last left just before you go across the Spillway (Dam).

Go to the west side of the Overlook area and park in the first space just after the picnic pavilion. Go to the map and look left. You will see two restrooms just up the hill. Calibrate your paces with mine by pacing off the distance from the door of the men's to the women's. I took 11 paces (1 pace=2 steps). Now look for the space in the fence between the restrooms and a sign that says "Island View Nature Trail". Go 59 paces on trail from fence until you see a tree on the left about 2 feet from the trail with a hollow in its base. Nope! The box isn't there! Continue on trail for 14 paces until trail makes a sharp left and continues at a bearing of 345 degrees. From the turn in the trail go 10 paces and look to your right for a large flat rock situated between an oak tree on its right and a pine tree on its left about 6 feet from the trail. This rock is at a bearing of 6 degrees from the trail. The box is hidden on the rock's far side under its ledge.
Please reseal box tightly and have fun!
