**This box was retired May 26, 2011.**
This year's box of the month series got off to a rocky start, but it is in full swing now!!!
Each month for the year 2011 should bring a new box by a different letterboxer from around the country, and slightly different location along the same trail. The box should generally be in place the first week of the month and will be available through the 24th. Remember though that each one will be in a different location, so you will need to check the clues for the new spot.
This is my fourth year doing this and I was very happy to have a new trail in my hometown to use for it (especially with the price of gas right now!!!!!!!!!!).
Hunting is allowed during season along this trail, so be sure to wear blaze orange in season-this goes for your four legged companions also!!
From the intersection of routes 289 and 87, head west on route 87. You will come to a cemetary (with a few boxes to be found there ;-) on the right hand side of the road. Stop here and pull entirely off of the road.
Head down the trail that is marked by a large wooden sign. This is the beginning of the new Common Hills Trail. This is an old abandoned road and can get VERY wet at times so be sure to have the proper/waterproof footwear...
For the month of May of this series, start from where last month's (April) box was...
Continue on down the trail.
Go down to the bottom of the hill.
The trail bends left.
You will quickly see an old, ugly, large three sister tree on your right.
From this tree, continue ~20 more steps down the trail.
Stop.
Look right.
You should see a well worn trail and an opening in the stone wall here.
Go through the wall and stop.
Turn right and look underneath the second large rock, behind a trap door for the Balancing Act letterbox by Mazy Days of TX.
Please re-hide this box well and naturalize the area.
Have fun!

P.S.The trail is still very wet in places...
