Note: This clue begins as a road rally, then turns into a hike on
foot.

The trip starts on Route 78 West. Take Exit 15; at the bottom of
the exit make a right on to West Main Street. Go 3/10 of a mile.
When you see an Amoco station make a left, and head past the
Clinton House. Behind the Clinton House you'll find Clinton falls;
make a right, go over the bridge (you'll be on Main Street), park
your car and check out the town for a while.

Once you're back in your car, continue down Main Street. At the
intersection of Leigh and Main, make a right. At the next light,
make another right, back onto West Main Street. Continue until
you go under Route 78. Go straight through two traffic lights.
Wave to the bad grrlz on your right. You are now on Route 513. If
you are here late in the day, keep your eyes open for hot-air
balloons.

Make a right onto Perryville Road. Follow this road to the end; at
the intersection of Perryville and Main Street, make a right (go
over the railroad tracks) and continue onwards. At the stop sign,
make a right turn onto Route 625 (Charlestown Road). Just
before the traffic light, you'll pass the Perryville Inn on your left (an
excellent dining spot). Keep going straight, back over Route 78.
Make a right at Van Syckels Road (you'll see a small sign
marking Van Syckel's Tavern). After exactly 1.5 miles, turn right
into a small, unpaved parking area marked by an "Alcoholic
Beverages Prohibited" sign.

Now, on foot: After entering the parking lot, go to the southeast
corner. Here, take the left path (do not go to the path on the right,
which leads towards the water).

Follow the wide trail for exactly 200 feet (about 100 paces); the
trail will bend gently toards the right. While on the path, you will
see a dead tree with 4 (or 5?) dead limbs sticking out of the top.
If the brush isn't too thick, you will also see a light blue metal
signpost in front of it.

Continue along the path towards the right (you'll pass the tree
and signpost on your left). After a few more feet, the path will get
narrow and take a sharp left; continue down the path until you hit
the waterfront at Fisherman's point. Go right about 10 paces and
reconnect with the path.

Go 15 paces down the path. To your right you'll see a small
concrete pit. Five paces after the pit, follow the trail to the
southwest, away from the water. After 10 paces, head off the trail,
towards the right to the tree with the significant brush residing at
its base. Behind the tree is a pile of rocks where the letterbox
lives.
