No compass is needed for this box.
All the boxes in this series are easy to find.
The boxes in this series are Pennsylvania Wildlife.
All stamps are hand-carved.
You can find them all in the Allegheny National Forest.
I have tried to get people to some scenic locations with these.
The boxes in this series so far.....
Crayfish
Spring Peeper
Turkey Vulture
Porcupine
Box 1 - Spring Peeper
This is the easiest.... It is on the NORTH COUNTRY TRAIL
Not more than 110 yards from the road.
Directions....
Find these things and you will be successful:
The border between Warren and Forest County.
The devil's highway.... the route number is 666.
State Road 2001 (Minister Road).
Head North towards Cherry Grove.
The North Country Trail Crosses the road about two miles up.
Walk East on the trail.
About 100 yards into the woods, there is a short logging road
which bears to the right while the trail bears left.
Follow the logging road to the end (20 feet).
There is a big clearcut.
Look to your left and down.
There is a tree with an un-natural looking pile of rocks.
The rocks conceal a hollow in the base of the tree.
Bingo! Stamp me please!
Now wasnt than easy? The next one is a little harder, but not too much.

Bryan,
sounds like a relaly nice series coming up... I do have one concern though. I've always felt like I wanted to include at least one compass bearing inmy clues, becasue I felt (perhaps unjustiably) that it might cut down on vandalism to the box. the rationale being that a person would have to set out w/ a compass to fins the box, and therefore less likely to be found by chance. Just a thought.
I do look forward to seeing your stamp images. Will need to find an excuse to make it ot the NW corner of the state.
