As of 3/19/11 I..(Okie Dog)..have adopted this box. All was well when last found. Originally planted by Wyldblueberries(also known as RyanAndAllison). Status as of 2-7-12 good, adding another logbook.

Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness area is a multi-use hike and bike trail on the Arkansas river in Tulsa. We placed this box to commemorate "Escape From Turkey Mountain" - a 5 mile run up and down the mountain trails in the park.

Difficulty: requires a very brief hike on a rocky path.

Directions to trailhead:

- Take I-44 to I-75 and head south.

- Exit 75 at 71st street and head East.

- Turn left on Elwood and head North. The parking lot is on your right about a half mile ahead.

- Park in the parking lot and go to the main trail entrance at the edge of the woods.

Directions to box:

- Look at map on the back of the trail sign. You'll be going on the Ridge Trail Loop.

- Enter the woods and start up the path.

- When the trail branches, stay right on the yellow trail.

- You'll exit the woods and cross a powerline right of way briefly.

- As soon as you re-enter the woods, there will be a trail on your right with lots of boulders. Turn here.

- Walk down the path. Stay left when it branches.

- Walk up the rocky path strewn with boulders, you'll be climbing along the side of a hill.

- About 25-30 feet before the boulders end, you'll see a large boulder on the right of the path. It stands vertically and is about a man's height.

- The box is hidden down at the bottom right of this boulder, under a small (compared to boulder)rock, this rock is up against that large boulder. Find the box on the back side, watch your step. In fall the leaves could be slippery, believe me, I know (OD).

PLEASE SEAL BAGGIES WELL TO KEEP OUT MOISTURE!
PLEASE RE-HIDE THE BOX OUT OF SIGHT WHERE YOU FOUND IT,WHEN YOU RETURN IT!
