Location: Reading, PA
Hike Length: about 1 mile round trip
Date Planted: July 30, 2006
This is the final box in the Laura's Childhood Luvs series - a series which was a lot of fun for me to plan and plant. This box also replaces the exchange box "Pateke from New Zealand" because the carver of that box has requested that I send it home to her. Tiny Treasure is in the exact location that Pateke was in but you should be able to count it as a new find because it is an entirely different box.
To find this box, go to the Sawmill Parking lot of the forest in Berks County originally owned by a producer of hosiery and get out of your car and admire the dam and little waterfall. Then turn your back on this pretty sight and take the trail which is now to your left. After you pass two sets of park benches, watch for a swatch of green and turn left on the trail after it. Walk up, up, up till you have to make a choice. If you choose the right way you will be on a timber and tree root stepped path. Take this to the loop and go counterclockwise. You will see a wooden platform, ignore it, the box is not there. Go a bit further to a little hill on the right. Go down that to the two trunked tree that is directly in front of you and search for your reward.
While you are in the park be sure to search for the series by Pink Panther and Black Swan as well as by ShredMTB.
Edited 7/6/09. I checked on this box and it is still in good shape. I did slightly move it though. It is now in front of the tree instead of behind it due to a small amount of poison beginning in its old hiding spot.
6/6/10 - box still in good shape.
