NAME: Double Seven (Perfect Stamp)
First Box in the Nolde Forest Series
LOCATION: Nolde Forrest Environmental Education Center, located on
PA Route 625 south of Reading, Berks County, PA.
DATE PLANTED: October 2002
Nolde Forest Environmental Education Center is designed and
maintained to promote environmental education. Bicycles and
motorized vehicles are not allowed. Please hike only on designated
trails. All route choices use existing Fire Roads, Trails, or Paths
(FR/T/P). All boxes in this series are located close to trailsides.
All routes involve elevation changes. Maps of the center are not
entirely accurate.
START HERE: Sawmill Parking Area just off PA 625.
Double set of clues to this box. One route choice is a little longer
but more leisurely. The other is shorter, but steeper.
1. Longer, Leisurely
Stand facing 270 degrees with the Double Wooden Bridges near the
parking lot at your back. Of the four main directions of the compass,
one is the most appropriate heading (MAH) for this box. Follow the
Fire Road/Trail/Path (FR/T/P) at this heading. Ignore (FR/T/P)'s
coming into it on the right and left, cross a wooden bridge, and turn
right until you reach a Y near the Double benches. Bear right, noting
the name of the (FR/T/P) you are now on. Continue on this (FR/T/P)
until you reach a place where it Doubles itself near the Double cans
and the Double "cans". Continue at MAH on the (FR/T/P) that Doubled
itself until you reach a Y. Go left at the Y, leaving this (FR/T/P),
then immediately right. Continue on this new (FR/T/P), passing the
four DOUBLE red slashes, and find this spot(S): FF and EE and LL/PP
and EE. Near this find OO (Double letters) followed by a number.
Note this number (N) and return to S. Now follow the (FR/T/P) at a
heading which is ninety degrees less than (MAH) for N divided by
three paces until you see the Double Horses at 215 degrees and the
Tall Pine at 120 degrees. Look between the Double Logs in the area
between the Double Horses and (FR/T/P) to find Double Seven.
2. Shorter, Steeper
Stand facing 270 degrees with the Double Wooden Bridges near the
parking lot at your back. Of the four main directions of the compass,
one is the most appropriate heading (MAH) for this box. Add 90
degrees to MAH and follow the Fire Road/Trail/Path (FR/T/P) in that
direction until it meets another. At this junction, follow the
(FR/T/P) at MAH until it meets another (FR/T/P). Turn left and
continue, ignoring three (FR/T/P) coming in on your left, and
ignoring one (FR/T/P) coming in on your right. Pass the Buckeye PP
on your left; ignore the (FR/T/P) coming in on your right, and catch
sight of Double Yellow to your right. Continue and find this spot(S):
FF and EE and LL/PP and EE. Near this find OO (Double letters)
followed by a number. Note this number (N) and return to S. Now
follow the (FR/T/P) at a heading which is ninety degrees less than
(MAH) for N divided by three paces until you see the Double Horses
at 215 degrees and the Tall Pine at 120 degrees. Look between the
Double Logs in the area between the Double Horses and (FR/T/P) to
find Double Seven.
