This is one in a series of boxes planted in the state game lands of northeastern Pennsylvania. If you seek this box, please be aware of hunting seasons. I recommend wearing blaze orange any time of year. I don't recommend seeking this box during deer season, except on Sundays.

State Game Lands 55 is located in Columbia County. The parking area you need is along Ridge Road between Jonestown and Summerhill, on the south side of the mountain. If you're heading south down the mountain, it's a road bearing to your right just 0.3 miles past the entrance to Girl Scout Camp Louise. NOTE: This parking lot is not on the SGL map, but the road it's on is.

Clues:

* From the lot, head west on the road.

* After a few minutes, the trail will head uphill.

* Continue going uphill, with a few turns and "false summits" along the way.

* When you reach a long level stretch (although, if you look ahead, it does go left and up again in a bit), look for a trail on your right.

* Take the trail, but it will fizzle out after about 10 paces. At that point, you're at a large tree on your right.

* From the tree, go two paces at 150* to a boulder partially underground.

* Look under the NNE corner of the boulder, beneath some smaller rocks.

Please rehide well.
