12/29/2010 - Please note- we have recently adopted this series. We know box 5 and 10 are missing and some of the other boxes are in need some maintenance (mostly drying out/replacing the boxes). We will be re carving and checking all of the boxes by the spring.

Turn left at the sign, then park in the parking lot that will be on your right. Walk past the information stand and continue on the paved trail past the pavilion. Start at the metal gate and go around it.
