Easy clues and terrain
The fashion statement for today is orange. From Route 495, take Exit
21B. Continue straight through the light and have the luck of the
Irish as the road rises to meet you. Desert glimpses on the left are
followed by vistas of inland seas on both sides. Continue your
journey heavenward, and just after mile one, a celestial being will
mark the place to take a left. Follow this road past the harvest of
gold and Bo Peep's charges and later, a pint-sized Ponderosa. Look
for the Sentry Post on your right - it is your signal to slow down.
Watch for the Tribe's Crimson Fortress on your left and park near the
picnic bench.
Sit down for a spell at the picnic bench as you listen to the Hunters
Falls on your right and gaze forward at another inland sea. Glance
over your right shoulder to spot the entrance to the pink ribbon
marked trail. Enter the trail, careful to follow the pink ribbon
trail. Cross over the bridge and take in the full beauty of the
Hunters Falls on your left. Continue along the pink flagged trail to
where the trail forks at a large boulder next to a freshly cut tree.
If you look inland toward the right trail, you will see Target One.
Instead, follow the left trail along the water. Fifteen paces from
the freshly cut tree along the water trail, you will find yourself in
front of a pine sapling. Reach below the ledge rock beneath the
sapling to bag your catch.
Be *sure* to take my fashion advice and wear bright orange. Enjoy!
