UPDATE! The situation has cleared up, and the box is back! Sorry for the temporary inconvenience, and feel free to spread the word that it's back online.

At the southeast corner of Trumansburg, across from the fairgrounds where the Grass Roots festival is held each summer, stands Henry A. Smith Woods. At the northwest corner of the woods, with your back to a pink arch, you'll see a sign identifying the woods and a path into it. Off you go! Just past a large fallen tree at the right hand edge of the path, admire the majestic white pine to your left. Continue past two trees that have fallen across the path and been cut through, and (in season) keep your eyes peeled for the trillium whose image you seek. At a small clearing, the path will appear to end. Proceed to the foot-tall stump straight ahead at 150º, then 13 paces at 90º to a small striped maple. Note the number of letters in its Latin name, multiply by three, and continue for that number of paces at 90º to the site of a great upheaval. Therein you will find treasure you seek. Come back in July and have yourself a time at the Grass Roots Festival
