The Perkiomen Trail Series – Starry Night

The Perkiomen Trail stretches from Green Lane, PA all the way to Valley Forge (22 miles in length), and then connects to the Valley Forge bike trail which can take you all the way to Manyunk and Philadelphia.
It is a beautiful trail for hiking or biking, any time of the year.

Difficulty: Very easy walk. Suitable for the entire family.
Note: a pace is two steps. i.e. Count a pace every time you step on your right foot.
Note: This box does NOT contain an ink pad stamp. Please bring your own.

If you previously found Starry Night behind the Ice Cream place in Schwenksville, this is a brand new hunt.
I wanted to put a box down near Arcola because it is such an interesting area and section of the trail. Unfortunately, parking for access to this box will be a challenge. I parked in a small gravel lot on Cider Mill Rd. There is a "No Tresspassing" sign there but it appears more concerned with hunting and such. You are on your own to find a place to park or come in by bike from either end.

The Perkiomen Trail crosses Arcola Road very near where Cider Mill and Level Roads hit Arcola. If you could jump on the trail from Arcola Rd, you would immediately cross a very nice wooden bridge. There is a split rail fence on either side of the trail after you cross the bridge.
Four paces beyond the last fence post on your right, stop.
On your left is a small rock formation, just off the trail. Behind a rock is Starry Night.
Please rehide well. Hope this one stays put this time.
Please be discrete when stamping and replacing the box.

Hope you had fun.
