Planted this box on my annual camping trip to the Adirondacks. It will be checked only once a year. The box is on the summit of Goodnow Mountain, a relatively small Adirondack peak, only 2,685 feet tall. But at its summit is a 60-foot fire tower that provides some of the best views in the Adirondacks for the least amount of effort. A reasonably fit person can go up and down the two-mile trail in about two hours. Trailhead parking is located on Rt. 28N, 1.5 miles west of the entrance to the Visitor Interpretive Center in the hamlet of Newcomb. At the summit, just below the fire tower, find the ranger station. Go around to the back of the building. The box is under the building between the two windows, but closer to the window on the right.
