A few things about this series, and these clues.
First – there are 6 boxes, with one logbook. The logbook is in the final box.
Second – Any numbers that are spelled out are paces, and any numbers that are numerals are degrees. Numbers in quotes will make sense on the trail.
Third – bring a RED stamp pad

Clues:
“Way down yonder by the forks of the branch,
the ole sow whistles and the little pigs dance…”

“Yonder comes a Willie he’s a passin’ on a hill,
he don’t dress nice but he drives fit to kill…”

Two similar songs sung by two different artists with the same title. The next line for both of the above lyrics is the title of the songs and the title of this series. To find the name of the park where this series is located – find the 1st artist and the 2nd artist and fill in this code:
First word: 2-14, 1-4, 1-6, 1-9, 2-12, ?, ?
Second word: ?, 2-7, 1-2, 2-17, 2-17, 1-7, ?, 1-3

To start you off on your hunt, here is an original ditty from those little red poetic signs up and down the line…
From the trailhead follow the trail that fits this verse best:
If a gift
You must choose
Give him one
He’ll like
To use
Burma Shave

The rest of these are my sad verse recorded, find all
the boxes you’ll be rewarded…

At the “Y”
Head to the right
Instead of left
Go, go, fight, fight
Burma Shave

When "2" you see
Stay straight ahead
Not left indeed
Go right instead
Burma Shave

From the "2"
Pace thirty-six
30 find log
To get your fix
Burma Shave

Rotting crossed logs
Will be your friend
Fourteen ahead
40 box-finder send
Burma Shave

Eighteen regular
Paces more
40 BIG BOY
Broke end, a score
Burma Shave

Take a rest over there now if you must
and relax from all this rhyme.
Fill the tank, check the tires and buckle up
we’ll find the rest this time.

Ten steps before
The green deer sign
340 fallen one
By cut piece divine
Burma Shave

340 the magic
thirty more on trail
Rotting pine in row
Center piece will prevail
Burma Shave

Forty more ahead
360 this time
BIG OAK, broken arm
Box in arm, so sublime.
Burma Shave
