This is My Pennsylvania - Good Drugs AQ 280422

 

Walk up the messy macadam trail.

 When you see this sign, turn left onto the dirt trail.

 

Cross over these pipes. 

 

 The yellow blazes were few and far between.

 

Look for this carved beech tree.

 Then take a couple of steps forward on the trail, look uphill for this downed V tree.

Get a little closer and look behind the tree.

 

Whoop, there it is!

Good Drugs

The Empty Basket Series - The Boxing Box AQ 249780

 Find this preserve at 47 Rabbit Run Ln, Bear Creek Township, PA and park in the lot right off of the road.

 Be prepared!  The only thing I ran into while I was here was a garter snake and some boisterous dogs which were off leash.  (Yes, I did tell the owners they needed to be on leash.  They weren't too happy with me.)

Take the red trail which leads east right off the parking lot.  Watch for this large rock.

 Look on the back side of the rock, tucked between it and the tree.  Please use care if there are other hikers in the area.

The Boxing Box

Stained Glass #3 AQ 279961

I had passed this cemetery on the way to the Promised Land campground and kept kicking myself for not stopping to place a Stained Glass box there.  Miraculously, on the way home, I passed it again and stopped this time!

 Old River Road between T301 and Bear Lake Road, Thornhurst, PA
GPS Coordinates: Latitude: 41.19390, Longitude: -75.57310

 

Low stone wall on the right side of the cemetery.

 

Pouch is tucked under the large rock at the base of the tree closest to the road.

There is no need to move any rocks to obtain the pouch.  Please fill the opening with ground clutter to prevent groundskeepers from finding it.  The decon container is not part of this box.

 Look for Parking Area 2 which can be found on the right side of the road between the park office and the campground.

 Go into the parking area.

The parking area is grassy and very muddy in wet weather.  Once parked, look to the left and notice the multi trail which is shown on the left side of the picture below and a grassy area on the right.  Head to the grassy area.

 

Go ahead, walk back into it.

 

As you walk into the opening, look to your right.

 

Look for a rotting stump about 15 feet in.

 

Go take a closer look at it!

 

And then walk around to the back of it. See that overdone pile of rocks?  Check there.

 In case you couldn't see it in the first picture, here is another.

This box may be moved in the future.  I was hiking alone this weekend and the bear talk kind of scared me away from spending too much time on the trail.  I am hoping to return to find all of the wonderful boxes in this park with friends and hopefully will find a better spot for this box.  Keep checking back for updated clues if you are planning on searching for this one.

Take the blue trail between these two rocks.

 

Enjoy the beauty of this trail.  Do your homework.

 

After you cross over this plank bridge, take the first left hand turn.

 

Take eight steps and then look to your right for this tree with a slanted rock in front of it.  For additional identification, there is a two trunk tree and a three trunk tree to the left of the tree and a two trunk tree behind it.

  

Then head into the town of Gouldsboro and enjoy this cute little railroad station.

Enter Parking Lot #5 and walk around the kiosk and the yellow gate.

  

See the trail register which was empty the day I was there.

 Walk till you see this blazed three trunk tree on the right side of the trail.

 A few steps further will lead you to the blazed four trunk tree on the left side of the trail.

If you reach the Lakeside Trail sign, you have gone too far.

 

Look into the woods on the left side between the two blazed trees for this multi trunk tree.  This tree has a twin about fifteen feet away.

 Now for the tricky park, I don't remember which tree the box is in, I think when you are facing the woods, it is the one on the right. It is under the rock behind that tree.
