Box is alive and well as of 6/17/12. Enjoy.
The wreck ended the boy’s shot at fulfilling his destiny. It was unfortunate; he had such potential. He was a star athlete and a straight A student. His parents were devastated as well as mystified. How could this have happened? They ruled it an accident but there was that one detective who suspected foul play. Others were not convinced; there was not a single shred of evidence to prove the theory to the contrary.
It has been over a year since the incident, the unconvinced detective has since retired, and the case has been closed. That is, until the anonymous tip came in. The seargent put you on the case this time. You remember hearing about the supposed accident. You were only in the Academy at the time but you were intrigued by the case. Your gut tells you that this could be the missing piece to crack this case wide open. You always wondered if that old, skeptical detective was onto something…
You begin your investigation at the Brillhart Station of the York County Heritage Rail Trail. You can park your cruiser here and head south on the trail, by foot or by bicycle. You will pass by houses on the right, and then pass through a small red gate.
Another house will be on the left with strange cages and stranger smells in the yard. Are those foxes in there? Turkey buzzards? Make a mental note to follow-up on this later.
You’ll see a white marker on the left with a 52 on it. The trail is getting warmer; the clues are panning out, just as the caller said.
Ahead of you lies a long straight away of trail. There is a rest stop at the end of this straight away. This is a great place to take a break. Surely some donuts and coffee are needed to help you stay alert. This is a great time to scout the scene and make your plan to avoid curious onlookers and lurkers. After all, if your investigation is compromised in any way, you may not be able to bring this case to justice.
Immediately after the rest stop is a wooden fence on the left. Immediately after this fence are two benches. The clues are matching up exactly as that anonymous tip reported. At the far side of the second bench you should stand, looking over the back of the bench into the woods. Standing at the far edge of the second bench you will see three small trees in a line, one behind the other behind the other. The branches of these trees are growing directly towards the trail. Following the sight line of these three trees you should see an old, rotting, uprooted tree** behind them. In the roots of this uprooted tree, buried under rocks and leaves, you should find the evidence needed to crack this case. If you look to the left you might see a spur trail (or is it a drainage trench?) that goes up right past this fallen tree.
Please remember that the removal of evidence is extremely sensitive and should be accomplished with the least amount of disturbance to the surrounding areas.
Congratulations, you’ve solved the case.
**December 10, 2010 This tip just in: the "old, rotting, uprooted tree" is totally wasted away. The evidence is next to lower side of 6" dia. tree and 15' up the hill and 15* to right of line of sight of the three trees.
June 17, 2012 update. The box is nicely hidden under a large grey rock with a smaller rock next to it.
Credit should be given to my letterboxing pal, E man. The idea and theme for this box came from him. Thanks, E man!!
If you'd like to check out the Stand by Me box, keep following the trail nearly a mile further and you'll come up to the tunnel from the other side.
Hike Length: 1.0 miles
