Green is the Prime Color of the World

Start your walk by parking at 27th Street and Fairview Avenue.

Walk right by this sign, I spoke to the owner and it is only to prevent parking on the gravel road leading to the trailhead.

Pass through the gate and walk up the gravel road.  Note that this is not little gravel stones, these are rocks.  Please tread carefully.

Pass the sign that says you are on the East Ridge Trail.

When the gravel ends, ignore the mess that is to your right and walk straight ahead, into the woods.

Keep walking, it isn't long, don't turn your head.

Whew!  You made it into the woods, now go up this little hill to the post at the top of it.

 You made it to the post!  Congratulations. You can look all around you now, it is safe.

The arrow says turn right, so do it.  You can walk up these three wooden steps or on the dirt beside them.  I chose the dirt.  It looked safer.

 Step over the little dip in the trail and walk to that orange blaze ahead of you.

 Look you are at the orange blaze already!!  See that spindly multi trunked tree to the right side of the picture?  Go to it.

Go to the back of the spindly tree.

 Tucked into the middle you will find the Green is the Prime Color box.

  

The Empty Basket Series - In Your Easter Basket

As you enter Ravine Gardens State Park, the first thing you will see is this lovely garden of stone columns.

 Then, when walking past the Nature Center, you will enter the formal gardens.

 Descend the irregular stone stairways and you will reach the first (northern) suspension bridge.

 If you visit the park at the right time of the year, you can see the beautiful azaleas on the Azalea Trail.

 View of the northern suspension bridge from the service road beneath it.

 There are several ways to get to this box.  My recommendation is to take the Loop Trail the whole way around the park and pass this interesting amphitheater.

 If you take the Loop Trail, you can descend to the southern suspension bridge from the amphitheater.

 Cross the southern bridge.

 When you get to the east side of the bridge, look for the staircase which leads back up to the Loop Trail.

 You will know you are at the correct staircase if you see the little people sign.

 Look across the trail and note the palm tree about 15 feet back in the woods.

Then look to the left of the palm tree and another 15 feet back in the woods to see this large live oak tree.

It's a whopper of a tree!

  Tucked in a little nook on the backside of the tree is the box that you seek!

 SPOILER ALERT!!!

This is My Pennsylvania - Wawa or Sheetz?

Go to this park.  Box is at 40.08208, -74.91279

 Head to the intersection of Oak Lane and Logan Walk.  

I found the quickest route was to park in this parking area along State Road.

 From this parking area, walk past the gate to the Hunting sign.  Turn left.

 Head down the trail, turning right when the trail curves.

 Continue walking down this trail.

 When you find this sign, head east on Logan Walk.

 See this tree? Ignore it.

 Instead, look across the trail at the downed tree.  Head to the root end.

 See this opening?

 Look what's inside!

This is My Pennsylvania - Slinky

Head to this strange little state park.

 Follow the road which meanders through the park until you see the sign for the Airplane Club.  Bear left and park in one of the six parking spaces on the left.  Then walk back to the kiosk.

 Take the short trail through the trees.

 The kiosk is naked on the front but has this explanation for the park on its backside.

 About halfway through the wooded section, note this big old tree a few feet off trail on the right.

From this tree, walk past the big tree behind and slightly to its left, to the Y tree with lots of exposed toes.  The Y tree is about 38 steps off trail.

 Check the backside of the Y tree and be very careful to avoid all of the deer droppings in the area.
