Box 4
'Night Flyer'
Mount Gilead State Park, Morrow County
Easy(mostly flat)
THIS BOX IS OUT OF COMMISSION FOR REPAIRS! DO NOT LOOK FOR IT!
Bug Spray. Compass. The usual drill. :) This one is about bats. They're kind of awesome. They have dragon wings(or dragons have bat wings?) and they're fluffy. You can't get much better than that. Anywho.
~INSTRUCTIONS~
Park at the second lot on Rt. 95 going south. Go down through the valley with the picnic tables to the weird narrow bridge below the dam, cross it and take the North fork past the huge brush pile on the right. This will lead you to another fork with trail sign 'F', take the North fork onto the Whetstone Trail. There's a random picnic table down in the creek on your left and a triple Sycamore(they're so pretty!!!) on the right. Go down a slight incline with natural tree root steps. The path curves in a sort of elliptical shape around both sides of a grassy patch with an ash tree in the middle(pick your side with care...actually, it's just a trail and they both go the same place, which is lame, but I'm a dramatic person, so). You'll have to crawl through a Maple and Green Ash and possibly some other trees that are down across the path(if they get removed at some point please tell me so I can edit that out), sign 'E' is on the other side, at a fork. Continue following the Whetstone trail North(there's even a sign if you're directionally challenged...I know I am...which is why I used a compass), you'll pass one tree with a read blaze on your left. Before the next blaze, there's a small, unmarked trail going off to the right. Take it up a steep-ish hill(with more tree roots that don't really make very good steps); the path turns all grassy and overgrown at the top. Don't go there, the poison ivy will eat you alive. From the center of the trail at the top of the hill, take approximately 15 paces to a tangle of honeysuckle(you may want to look up pictures of it when it's not in flower) on the left side and overarching the path. From the center of the trail next to the honeysuckle(facing it), take a 16° heading towards two downed trees about 35 yds. off trail. The second tree(the one that's further from the trail) has a fork about halfway down, the 'Night Flyer' box is underneath. As always, if there is any damage or the box is missing or the trees are totally rotted away or something, my e-mail is: tiredmom5kidz@yahoo.com.
