Near the intersection of U.S. Route #52 and Ohio Route #93 at
Ironton, Ohio, is an old highway tunnel known as the Historic 75
Tunnel. This is where you need to go. The tunnel is blocked off so
you can't go in there but beside the tunnel is a seemingly endless
set of wooden stairs up to an overlook on top of the hill. Climb
these stairs. Admire the view, catch your breath, and then notice a
ramp from the platform down to the hilltop. Go down the ramp and go
about 7 paces (1 pace = 2 steps) straight ahead to a tall maple tree
with a fork about 3 feet above the ground. Behind this tree you'll
find our little Winky hiding under some sticks and rocks.
