Sorry...This box is missing AGAIN!

"Sawmill" went missing in the summer of 2008. I think the ants must have carried it off. Anyway, a new location was chosen as the park service is starting to remove the large old trees in the park.
Clues:
Find red hydrant numbered "1202". With your back to the hydrant, at approx 225 degrees, you'll see a drain that runs under the train track. There is a three-sided silver metal railing partially surrouding it. If there is no water in the drainage ditch, carefully enter the depression and face the corrugated drainage pipe. Above the pipe and below the railroad tie, remove two loose rocks and remove camo-covered pouch. There may be creepie-crawlies here, so use gloves. You can also go above the drain pipe and reach down to retrieve the pouch if you prefer. Just please avoid standing on the train tracks as they come thru here pretty fast some times.
There are picnic tables across the road if you would like to sit there to do your stamping. Please use discretion when removing and replacing this box. This park can be very busy at times. Also, remember to replace the rocks so that box isn't visible. Thanks
