( Also in park: Camera and Film box and Table Rock we enjoyed both)
 
We came to have a day of hiking and fun. Packed fishing poles, picnic lunch, swim gear and a frisbee.  We approached the park from Rte 44 and entered. There is a small fee to enter. We parked the car  near the swimming hole . As you pass the swimming area you wil note a large open field, that is where to begin.
 
At the edge of the field against the woods you will spot a very large tree reaching for sunlight - go to it.  Take 10 paces ( count left foot) along the edge of the woods.
Face the woods and go straight up the slope  to pose on top of a large rock.
View a rock at 100 degrees & 10 paces go to it.
At that rock take a reading of 60 degrees uphill to the end of a dead tree. Under the living one in a squirrels storage space you will find 4 Cousins.
It is a busy park stamp secretly and return to  secret location.  Have Fun!
