The east wind was playing on my cheek and every forest sound was
hushed in the grove of tall pines. Footfalls quieted by inches of
pine needles lay as a carpet on the forest floor. Standing in the
center of the glade I wondered where to hide the box.

The quest begins at a small parking lot nearly a mile from the
pines. Just north of Yellow Springs take 343 where it begins at US
68. Shortly after the right turn is a turn off for parking at the
reserve given by her father in honor of Helen. Take the gravel road
all the way back to the parking lot, potholes and all. GPS backup
gives N 39 48.244 W 83 52.939 at the trailhead.

Take the trail to the east, down a hill and over the bridge at the
falls. This November afternoon, the falls could be heard for more
than 100 yards, but in the summer they make little more than a cool
mist in the rocky gorge.
