Lost and looking for the highest elevation on Nantucket Isle

We spotted a local who greeted us with a smile

"Trying to find the source of radio waves," we said.

"Turn across from the Quaise Road, by the gate that’s red.

It can be tricky to find the rocky road."

We set off on the altared path with our load.

Once at the facility,

We found a rock group at a higher frequency.

Then, heading further on up the road.

We pressed on a ways to the next hill in an easterly mode.

Compasses in hand, atop the second height

At 100 degrees, the goal was in sight.

We spotted the evergreen that helped us solve the riddle.

Between us and Sankaty Light, it was in the middle.

Bearing left down the hill, we kept on track,

Ignoring two asides that would set us back.

We came to the third lane on the right side

And that turn we walked with pride.

[You can drive this far, but go on foot from here]

The narrow path did us lead

To the evergreen indeed

Across from which was the treasure.

We placed this prize for your pleasure.

This is amazing.
On the 27th of April, the lonemasswolf and you inspire my spirit placed a letterbox in the same locale.
I am working on the clues this week.
Also placed a letterbox to celebrate the Nantucket Daffodil Festival.
And Three more lighthouse letterboxes at the Great Point, Brandt Point and Sankaty Head lighthouses on Nantucket.
Clues to follow shortly.
