This is my 3rd series of boxes along this rails to trails trail in my backyard. It's a great seires for new boxers, paved level trail. For more experienced boxes it has some of my best carving.
Note to new boxers, this is a heavily used trail please use steath and re-hide boxes so they cannot be seen. I have plased the boxes near benches and large rocks suitable for sitting.
Clues for this series are simple directions.There is only one log book located in the last box. Hike is about 3.4 miles round trip.

Box #1- The first users of the trail- From parking lot on Conestoga make left onto trail. Look for sign to Encke Park. There will be a paved road that goes off to the left. Follow this branch, paved to gravel to dirt. Large dying tree on your left. Rock on far side.

Box #2- Wagons Ho- The road you came in on is named for these wagons. From box #1 back on trail head back the way you came. Pass back by parking lot. Look for bench on your right shaded by bamboo. Have a seat and take a bearing of 240 to the viney tree. Under rock.

Box#3- Beaware there's a big gap between last box and this one. Keep going down trail look for the Wayne Art Center on your right. A little past here you will see some very large boulders on your right(this used to be a quarry) at the first large boulder look under the NW corner behin 2 small rocks.

Box#4- What the trial is used for now. Back on the trail Walk past large boulders on either side untill you come to a set of stone steps on your right. A few paces more and you will be betwwen two concete pillars on either side of trail. From here go to 2nd large boulder on your right. Box ix under top edge.
PLEASE make sure you re-hide this box well, kids sometimes party in this area.

This is my back yard if you would like an exchange(I' walk this trail alot) use the contact the placer feature to let me know when you will be in the area.

Other things to do in Wayne-
Gryphon cafe- better than Starbucks
Reader's Forum book store- independent store, a real experience
Wayne Art- pink stuff
Theresa's Nex Door- beer, need I say more?
Outside Outfitter"s
Clock on corner of Lancaster and Wayne- Be there on the hour for a surprise.
