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 June of this series, start from where last month's (May's) box was...
Continue along the wide trail and soon you will come to a Y. Head to the left on the now yellow blazed trail.
Heading uphill, keep a sharp lookout on the right side of the trail for the second yellow blaze on the right facing you.
Stop at this second blaze and turn right. Directly behind this tree should be a short stone wall with a very large rock along the top. Look under the large rock, almost directly in the middle, behind a smaller rock to find this month's box. It is The Flirt by Batty Girl of TX.
Please re-hide this box well and naturalize the area.
Have fun!

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