Just missed a chance at your new boxes, Space Traveler, as I was down
in Bucks County two weeks ago. We have a Prayer Rock letterbox, a
Rolling Rock letterbox, and now Ringing Rocks! I'm sure there must be
other similar ones as well that I'm not remembering.

John De Wolf will get your clues posted (and boxes found) in short
order, I'm sure.

> RINGING ROX BOXES
>
> BOX #1
>
> >From the parking lot, take the trail past the trash can.
>
> Follow this trail to the first fork, and take the left one, which will
> lead to the field of
> boulders. DON'T FORGET YOUR HAMMER!! A tire iron will work OK, but a
> hammer is
> best.
>
> The field of rocks also seems to fork, and you need to wend your way
> through the left
> side. As you approach the end of the field, look for a cone shaped rock
> with a deep "Y"
> shaped crack near the top of it.
>
> >From this rock, look for two large oak trunks at the edge of the field
> that form a "V". This
> is in a roughly northerly direction. You cannot trust a compass here
> because of the
> composition of the rocks.
>
> Standing in the "V" of these trunks, take a bearing of 320, cross a
> trail, and walk 78
> paces to another pair of "V" forming trunks.
>
> Ten paces beyond this you will discover a pair of rusted fenders.
>
> Standing between the fenders bear 220 for 28 paces to the fallen logs.
>
> Seek here and you shall find.
>
>
> Box #2
>
> Return to the trail and bear 60 passing "AC91"
>
> Go down hill till you come to a tree with nubby bark and an upside down
> "T" carved into
> the trunk.
>
> Bear to the left of this tree and continue down hill.
>
> Listen for the water as you angle over to the right - head toward the
> water.
>
> Ah... There it is: a cascade of water over step like rocks. Climb down
> to the stream and
> follow it up hill to a large upward slanting table of rock.
>
> Continue to follow this flat table up stream until you come to a small
> pool.
>
> There is a tree at the pool's eastern edge, from this tree, site due
> west and you will see
> a cavelet up in the rocks at about 50 yards distance.
>
> You will find it in the cavelet on the left side.
>
> Continue upstream to a very pleasant waterfall. The trail leads to the
> top of the falls
> and thence it is a well worn path back to the parking lot.

> Happy Hunting
