This is my first attempt at a traditional letterbox. The trail markers may/may not be spot on. I will re-evaluate again in case I missed something. If there are 2 trail markers on a tree, I only counted them as 1, but I did count on all sides of the trees. I've hidden the final coordinates, but will leave them in the hint in case you need to reference them, or you just want to use them.
The directions I have are as follows:
Start off at the Highbanks Trail
Go around the wooden fences and stay on the trail
Listen to the birds as you walk down the path. There are some pretty beautiful songbirds in here.
Path will start to get curvy, just keep going down the path
Pass 2 trail markers and one that's hard to see
You'll see a tree with woodpecker holes on the left, keep going down the path
Do you still hear the birds?
There's going to be a twisted tree on the ground on the left-but it's not where you're going, keep going down the path
Pass a trail marker
You'll eventually see a half tree with woodpecker holes in it on the right-keep going down the path
3 Trail markers later, there will be tree branch over the path, just pass under it
If you haven't already gotten Stumpin' Canoers, it's right here, you might as well! It's a cool container, too!
After you get done with that cache, or if you've already found it before, continue down the path in the direction you were headed
You'll pass like 5 more trail markers, be careful to the right, it's a steep drop!
You'll pass another trail marker and then go uphill to a fence with a trail marker on it. Go around and continue in the same direction, forward
Are you having fun? Are you enjoying the nature you're witnessing? Life is short, enjoy it!
As you're walking, you'll come to a split to the left and to the right, pick the right and enjoy the view!
Retrace your steps and take the left path down the trail again
Just past about 3 more trail markers, you're going to come to a place for rent on the right. Not my work, but I thought, what a great marker for this letterbox!
There will be a tree arched over the road, you won't miss it, pass it and keep going down the path
Sing a song that makes you happy while you keep hiking down the trail
A couple more trail markers and then there will be a wooden fence to the left that goes to the road, do not follow it. Stay on the trail going forward
You'll see a tree's leg in the path, be careful you don't trip over it!
2 more trail markers to go and the next scenic view to the right. Stop by check it out and then keep going down the path, you're getting close now!
The next trail marker that has a scenic view to the right, turn right towards that scenic view, then take a left, you will see a stump. At this time-it has a rock on it, it's how I found it and hopefully, it will stay there
Be careful not to gouge your eyeball with the dead branch at eye level, like I did, it hurt-lol
You will find the cache deep in the stump.
Please remember to leave the stamper, the inkpad and the log. Also please hide out of sight when replacing!
I hope you enjoyed finding this letterbox as much as I enjoyed creating it! Happy Caching!
