Bred in Berks: Taylor Swift

It would be hard to imagine anyone who enjoys modern music who does not recognize the name Taylor Swift. Berks County is very proud of the fact that Taylor spent the first 14 years of her life in Wyomissing. Starting out as a very young singer/song writer in the country music field, Taylor has now transitioned to pop music but it seems that whatever she chooses to do, she works hard and has been very successful.

To find this box, look for a park close to the town she was born in. I tried to find a spot in Wyomissing but nothing felt right so I headed a little west for this box. This park borders on the south end of the Wilson High School soccer and cross country practice fields. When you arrive there, cross the bridge over the gnisoocaC keerC and turn left. Follow the trail passing the first three landmarks in the picture. After you pass the third picture, turn right and cut across the short expanse of grass to the upper path. As you reach the end of the wild area, turn left to see the tree in the fourth picture. About four feet to the right of that tree you will see a boulder. Look for the little nook in the back of the boulder.
