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.

BCHP
From the intersection of the Appalachian Trail and Rt. 183, find this memorial.
From the memorial find the intersection which is home to the next two photos.
From this intersection, head towards the HP about 50 steps to a small clearing which is home to about half a dozen three trunk trees on the left. On the right side of the trail, there is a tree with two yellow discs. About 28 steps at 100 degrees you will see a five trunk tree with a foot wide rock at its base. Look behind the rock.
If you see the sign below, you have gone too far for the box but it is easy to catch it on the way back. You HAVE to go on.
The high point is about another 150 steps, do it! Come on, you know you want to! Take those extra steps to claim that you were at the High Point of Berks County.

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.
