We entered the park for a day of FUN. Fishing gear, swim stuff,
letterboxing , hiking and a picnic lunch all to be followed by We -
Like-It ice cream ( Rte 97 Abington - outrageously good! ).

There is a park fee or follow clues to Camera and Film for a no fee
parking area, we bagged that box and table rock. When you come in to
the park for Camera and Film you could cross bridge and do 4
Cousins. ( Bathrooms here) Pass the swimming pond to the big field.
On the Northeast side of the field look for a large tree hanging over
the field stretching for sunlight. From the base of that tree take 10
paces away from the pond along the edge of the field. Now turn and
face the woods. Go straight up the slope to pose on a large rock.
View another rock at 100 gegrees & 10 paces. At that rock take a
reading of 60 degrees ,uphill it will be. At the end of a dead tree
under a living tree is the 4 Cousins letterbox. It is nestled into a
squirrels storage place. Please stamp and rehide exactly so others
may enjoy the search. Have Fun!
