Alive and well as of 10/9/08.

Clues: easy
Terrain: mostly moderate, but some parts rocky and steep
Time: this box only, about 30 minutes; the full loop, about 2-1/2 to 3 hours.
First find: 9/2/2004

Notes:

• We have another box planted along the Burbank Trail. Making the entire loop will take approximately 2 ½ - 3 hours, and is 3.2 miles long, according to their signs.

• Hunting by licensed hunters is allowed here, so be sure to wear blaze orange during hunting season.

• A trail map is available at: http://www.bnrc.net/TrailMaps/YokunRidgeNGuide.pdf

Clues:

From the monument in the center of Lenox, take Rt. 183 South for 1.5 miles (you will pass Tanglewood on your left) to a fork. Take the right fork (Lenox Road) for another 1.4 miles. On your left is a parking lot for Yokun Ridge Reservation.

Before you head off on your search, walk to the center of the rock wall, read about Olivia's Overlook, and enjoy the view for a minute.

Cross the street and head into the woods on the trail. Follow the trail for about 5 minutes and you will reach a clearing with a donation/trail map box (with no trail maps, alas). Standing in front of the box, look up and slightly to the right for trail signs.

Options

• This box only: Take the trail marked Burbank Trail to Overlook. It's the center path, and the only one that heads uphill (sorry!). Walk for about 10 minutes until you come to a clearing. Walk under the power lines, and look for a path on your left.

• As a part of the two series: Follow the clues for Playbill Series #1 – Cats. After stamping in, continue on the Burbank Trail. When you come to the power lines, look for a path on your right.

Down the path, you will see a little stone pyramid structure (and a wonderful view!). Walk to the stone pyramid. Turn slightly to your right and look for a tree just in the woods at 320 degrees. Walk down the path about 8 steps, turn right, and walk to the tree you spotted in the woods. It is the first tree you will come to. Between that tree and the one right behind it is a rock. The box is tucked into a space beneath the rock.

After stamping, please rehide the boxes as well or better than you found them.

To leave, return to the Burbank Trail, turn right, and walk about 10 minutes to return to the clearing with the donation box. Stand with your back to the donation box, and the trail back to Olivia's Overlook is the one right in front of you, heading downhill.

We’d love to hear from you when you’ve found Phantom of the Opera!
