A subject known as Red Eye has escaped from a Primatech facility in Upstate New York. Information indicates that the subject hid important information in a remote location. Your mission is to search for the capsule containing an important symbol.

Difficulty: A round-trip of about one mile with roughly 300' of climbing on uneven ground.

Driving Directions:
Take Route 209 West from the Kingston area or East from Ellenville to Kerhonkson. Foordmore Road is West of the junction with Route 44/55. From Route 209 turn onto Foordmoore Road near a large oil tank and a sign for the Ukranian National Association camp. Follow the road across the Rondout on a steel bridge. Look for a small turn-off just after a small bridge with a steel gate on the right. There should be signs saying 'Deer Hunting Only'. If the road starts going uphill you've gone too far. The turnoff is small with a steel gate. Park beside the gate and walk around it.

Clue:
From the parking area, find a large tree with three white paint blazes on it. Follow the white trail blazes roughly 60 two-step paces past a small sign on a tree to the left. Turn left onto an old road that diverges from the marked trail. Cross a muddy stream and continue up hill. The path is steep and there are some downed trees along it. You will reach a junction with a trail on the left. Turn left onto the yellow (and drippy fluorescent green in places) blazed trail. Cross two small streams and take the second woods road on the right. Turn back if you reach a difficult stream crossing. (Unless you're going back to the camp.) There is private property ahead. Take the old road a short distance uphill until it dead-ends at a clearing on the right. Turn right and look for a tree with a white reflector on it. The box is hidden in a hollow under the far side of the tree.

Godsend is a microbox containing only a stamper and log book. There is no ink pad or pencil.

This is a bonus box placed near the Point Lookout (Panther Ledge) letterbox. It's easy to reach the other box if you're already up the trail. When you return to the point where you turned left, go uphill and follow the yellow blazed trail up and right to the view ledge.

When you reach the three blazes at trail's end look to your right and find the ledge where it is comfortable to sit. The treasure is hidden among the gnarled roots of an ancient pitch pine tree to the right. This is a small box and may be difficult to see. Please re-hide the box carefully.
