Name: Eliza B/moderngypsy
box name: California Redwoods
location: Jeddediah Smith State Park, California
County: ? (again, sorry, not from here)
hike: very easy, good for kids
directions: relatively easy
cautions: Poison Oak is around here -- be CAREFUL.

DIRECTIONS:
From highway 101 either N or S, take the exit for 199 East to Grant's
Pass. It's 9 miles east of Crescent City, on the left-hand side of the
road.

BOX CLUES:
Find the visitor's center. Follow the signs or ask at the gate. (There
is a day-use fee of $2, and it's worth it. This is a great, relatively
lesser-known park in the redwoods.)

Park across the road next to the bathrooms. (they'll be on your left.)
Follow the path AROUND the bathrooms to the northeast, and find a sign
that leads to the nature trail.

Go along the nature trail. There are some beautiful views of the river,
and some places to veer off and go to the beach if you'd like to be
sidetracked. To find the box, stay straight when you can turn.

When you get to the short post marked with an "8", turn right and go to
the end of the straightaway, where the path turns left. Turn around and
go back the way you came for 8 steps or so, until you're between two
halves of a fallen log that was cut away to let people walk through. On
the side furthest from the river, on the left side of the path, under
the log is the box!

While you're here, don't miss the summer bridge, which they build fresh
every year. It's only a half-mile walk to Stout Grove, which is an
impressive stand of old-growth redwoods that makes you feel very tiny
indeed. (They were building the bridge the day we were there, or the
box would be in Stout Grove, in fact. :>)
