From Hanover, go to Codorus State Park:
Follow 116 East, then 216 East to Codorus State Park.
About 1.5 miles from the Park entrance is the "LA-HO" hiking trail. There is parking lot on the right (South) side of 216 East for this trail.
Begin your hike on the LA-HO trail.
Soon you will see the lake on your right.
As you keep walking around the lake you will see a birdhouse in the lake off to your right.
The trail then veers slightly to the left, leaving the lake, and starts uphill.
The trail crosses a firebreak that extends to the East and West.
After a bit the trail levels out, and in two places the trail goes between two closely-spaced trees.
You will then see a large flat rock in the trail, about 4 feet across and 1 ft high.
Continue on the trail, but start counting your steps from the large flat rock (left foot, right foot = two steps).
The trail starts to descend at a heading of South West.
Stop 26 steps after the large flat rock.
Look to your left, or South East.
On this side of the trail is an embankment about 3 feet high.
You will see a tree on this embankment with 4 trunks.
Climb up on the embankment.
20 feet up the embankment (South East) from the 4-trunked tree, directly away from the trail, is another tree.
This tree is 1 ft in diameter, and tilts sharply away from the trail, to the South East, before rising skyward.
Your goal lies at the foot of that tree.
When you find it send me a message - I'll tell you why "Four Two Two" is the name of this letterbox.
Note: This letterbox is on a slight slope. A few days after placing it I started to get a little concerned that a rainstorm may wash it away. I live quite a ways from this letterbox, so I can't fix it. However, I would like to ask that the finders of this box place a rock against it, or somehow ensure that it can't be washed away. Thanks alot!
