Clues:
From Norman, go east on Alameda Drive to Lake Thunderbird...or from I-40 take the Choctaw Road exit south until it dead ends in the Lake. Turn LEFT (east) on Alameda Drive and go into Lake Thunderbird State Park. You can stop at the ranger station and get a map of the lake that will help in finding this box and also the Thunderbird Lake Series. Follow Alameda past the ranger station until it dead ends into the lake. Turn left at the stop sign that is at this point and follow the road and signs to the Hog Creek Camp area. There you will see the parking area on your left and the entrance to the Indian Point Nature Trail.
Follow the main trail (a smaller trail will fork to the right soon after the trail begins).
Along the way, you may see a volcanic "cowpie" in the middle of the trail that looks quite out of place.
There will be an interesting "bee stung" liveoak tree on your right just before you cross a powerline right of way.
You'll go up a few short rocky stairs in the path of sand and leaves.
You will come to the requisite nature trail wooden bridge over a dry creek bed.
Continue on up hill. At approximately .26 mi. there will be twin gate posts (no gate) with metal strips around the top of them on either side of the path. At this point take 14 paces @270 degrees where you will find an oak with 4 trunks. This was the former hiding spot for this box. From the oak, continue in the same direction. There will be a straight line of 5 trees. At approximately 30 yards from the 4-trunked oak there will be a HUGE grapevine growing up out of the ground. The box is buried at its base beneath leaves.
