***********This box is missing*************

fo an updated list of what is available go to www.atlasquest.com

There is a hitch Hiker insoed and if you want to take that one to relocate, you need to leave one in its place!

Also, I did not check off Handicap accessable, but it is if the person has someone who can walk a few feet off the trail to help them with the exact location of the box.

As Always, reseal baggies well and re-hide well. This is not far off the trail so be warry of mugglers.

Start out in the Willand Pond Recreation area's parking lot. Proceed through the large boulders down the path leading down to the water's edge. You will be passing to the left of a breaking circular stone structure that used to be a flower planter in front of the Casino (no longer there). Part of the way down you will see the BEAR CAGE! This was used during the 1800's when this area was used as a recreation area and the bear cage held, yes as aweful as that sounds, a bear. For the viewing amusement of the guests.

If you feel like going through the woods at this time go behind the bear cage and up away from the water on a rough path to where you meet up with the walking path or back track to the flower planter and go around it like a hairpin and follow that path.

Look for a sizeable pine tree which must have fallen and been dealt with by someone with a chain saw in a large pile off to you right and what is left of the tree trunk (about 11 feet tall) on you left. From this tree trunk count 34 adult steps and look to you left. Here you will see a few fallen trees running almost parallel to the path and a large growing pine tree. go behind the pine tree and look for 2 concrete steps that lead down from the path toward the water. just to the left of these steps is a pine tree with a young sapling growing next to it. What you seek is in the sticks and leaves at the base of these two trees.

Enjoy and remember to re-hide well.
