This is a single box with two sets of clues, should you need them. It is also listed under "No Way!"
Since this seems to be a tough box to find, this might help: An island map will help with names, some fort history knowledge is helpful, as is a little literature familiarity.
Alas, it seems the latest Mackinac Island map removed the name of the "path" referred to below, which makes it harder, of course. You'll have to use your imagination to think of what an unnamed path on the map could be named, sorry. If you're in the right area, it shouldn't be too tough.
By George, when I came to a fort in the road, I took it
Up, up, up
But then how to get down? Look out or watch your step, of course
You've got to pick one, though
so follow the path of the slumbers of a virtuous man
down, down, down
until the path ends
Then start back up
but only until it flattens out
Midway along the plateau
look back towards civilization
If you root around several paces off the path
you might find 30 white horses on a red hill
but probably not, instead, nothing but a box
since anything more is simply to mislead
and barring the champing
we hope you'll be stamping
because to get home you most certainly won't be standing still.
Hike length: 1-2 miles
