Continue on this path, going down hill, leveling out & going over rocky terrain. Soon you will come to a large Y shaped,.. DEAD Oak, a few steps beyond,.. pass over a very large Boulder in the trail. Now you should see a very large Red Oak on your left. Your prize is in the "cave" on the
south-east side of the 2nd rock adjoining this tree.
Box # 2
Continue on the trail going in a southerly direction. Over scrambles,.. Uphill & soon to a very distinct and rather large,..Downed Tree on your right. Pass by this and soon your path will be going downhill once again & bearing left through a stone wall. After crossing stonewall,.. path will bear right & through another stone wall. You should see a wooden Bridge. - Cross this bridge, through kinda wettish area and head up a small hill. You should be staring at a Big Twin Sister Red Oak.- Go to it. Take a bearing of 45
degrees,.. to a small Swamp Maple with two rocks leaning on it, (aprox 16 paces), smallest rock remove and in cave is your prize.
Box # 3
After stamping in,.. head back to that twin sister Oak Tree, this is the trail you want. It kinda takes a Right around. Continue on this trail. You will come to a A White Oak with 4 Blue Blazes. 10 steps beyond is another White oak with 4 Blue Blazes bear right here, Take 16 steps. There Is a TRIANGLE of paths here. Go left through the stonewall and shortly you'll be crossing a dead tree in the path. At about 30 - 35 paces, you will come to a "T". Go Right. Soon you should see a VERY lonely Pine on the other side of a wall & walking further,...come to an extremely large downed tree whose stump is 20' tall. 10 paces from the stump,.. STOP. Gaze at 3 very large Steadfast Soldiers gaurding a stonewall on the left. Pass # 1, and # 2 Holds your prize on the North side under a rock,... at its Base.
