Stained Glass #20 Box #303195





This is My Pennsylvania - WPA Box #303621


 
  
  



This is My Pennsylvania - Snow AQ 302808

 
 Pavilion 5
 Go behind the pavilion and note the tree with yellow and red blazes.
 Walk to this stone structure.
 See the V tree about 22 steps off trail.  It has rocks growing in its toes.
 The toe rocks are immovable.
 However, the toe rocks on the back side of the tree are hand placed by me!
 You have to check out this huge burl that you walked by so quickly in your anxiety to find this box!

 I was driving down the Route 274 in Perry County on my way to Big Spring State Park Picnic Area when this building caught my eye.  My Waymarking awareness kicked into gear and I had to stop and check it out.  It was an old church used from 1857 till a few years after WW II.  It was handed over to the Perry County Historical Society and is part of their Heritage Trail.
 
 
 I peeked in the window, got this fuzzy picture.
 
 As I was walking around the church, I found this nice little hole in the front of the building.  It is on the right front corner and was the perfect spot for Stained Glass #12.

This is My Pennsylvania - Deer

 Park at the little parking area right after the western entrance to this park and road walk to the western trailhead for the Middle Ridge trail.
 Begin your climb but don't be discouraged, it is steep but it doesn't last long.
Be sure to stick to the red blazed trail.  There is a grassy trail that intersects and while it is tempting, it won't lead you to your box.
 Red blazes, red blazes, stick to the red blazes
 Oh, look, more red blazes.
 When you see these two trees with double red blazes on the left side of the trail, look across the trail.
 Look for this V tree with the decayed backside.
 Back side of the tree, see the little box tucked into the decay?
 If you reach this lovely tree, you have gone too far.  Turn around and backtrack a little.
