This is My Pennsylvania - Ruffed Grouse

The landmark to look for.
 You can tell you are at the right tree with the hole close to the ground if you see this owl house in the background.
 Longer range look at the right tree.
Look across the trail to see this leaning two trunk tree.
 Wedged between the tree to its left and the fallen tree behind it is the Ruffed Grouse.

You're so Vane

Status of this box is currently "Unknown".  I looked for it briefly without the clues and didn't find it.  I will update when I make a return visit.


You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and...


You're so vane, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vane, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? don't you?

You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
Well you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and...

You're so vane, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vane, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? don't you? don't you?

I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and...
You're so vane, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vane, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? don't you?

Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
Then you fliw your Lear Jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and...

You're so vane, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vane, I'll bet you think this song is abowt you
Don't you? don't you? don't youS

Notes:  The online map for this park will probably not give you the info that you need.  It would be wise to use the maps at the park.

This is My Pennsylvania - Rocks

 Pass the furnace.
 Go to the Swamp Trail and turn left.  Look for the five trunk tree in the picture below.  Stand in the center of tree and look for the large pine tree at 140 degrees and 50-55 steps.
 Box is behind this rock.
 This was my view of the five trunk tree as I stood at the box.  The tree is beside True Indigo who has the blue coat on.

This is My Pennsylvania - Civil War History

 Visit the pretty Dance Pavilion.
 Admire the ceiling of the pavilion.
 Then take a walk on the trail behind the pavilion, crossing this bridge and one more.
 Take the time to admire the pretty stream as you are on the bridge.
 Cross the gravel road and walk up the trail about 50 steps till you see this interesting two species V tree.  Check out its back side.

This is My Pennsylvania - Apples

Find this park.
 Chambersburg Water Line from the parking area past the pool.
Stop about here when you see the Ramble Trail sign.
 Look to your right.
Look for this double trunk tree near the blue blaze.
 
 Box is behind this double tree.
