Follow the path of Gold. Be watchful for a path of Green merging from the left. Follow this connecting trail.
On this trail looking forward will show you green, looking back will show you gold. It is a seldom traveled
path though grassy vales. Nearing the end of the trail you will see the cliffs ahead. Turn to the left on the
green trail proper, counting off 13 healthy paces (two footfalls). Look up the rockface. See the place where
graffitti has been covered with dull brown paint. This is your destination. Climb carefully mindful of the
many holes between boulders.

Upon reaching the crevase which contains the cave opening, you will see what appears to be a throne naturally
formed in the rockface left of the opening. There is a small flat place to stand next to it. From here, notice
the sumac tree at a bearing of 175 degrees. Merlin hides under rocks at its base. Carefully replace the rocks
so that they appear natural and the box is well hidden (no peeking corners). The youth of the area sometimes
come to make patronage to the great wizard.

Please accept the terms of the waiver before embarking on this quest.
