Green Man #2

Trythall Road, Elverson, PA
 Parking is across the street from the trailhead.  The parking area only holds two or three cars.
 View of the little parking area from behind the trail head.
 Pass around the gate passing this faded signboard.
  
You will pass a maintenance building and a lovely lake.
 
 Follow the yellow Horseshoe trail blazes and when you reach the first Y, bear to the right.
  
Don't turn into the Crow's Nest Preserve. 
 At the next Y, again bear right.
 Above, looks like concrete but is really a boulder.
 Take about 85 steps from the beginning of the Y.
 Notice this beech tree about 25 steps off trail.
 
 Stand at the tree and look southeast. 
 
 Notice a large rock with a rotting railroad tie.  Next to that rock are two other rocks.  Look in the crevice between those rocks.

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.
