New PA LB: Double Eight (Ditto?)

From: shredmtb (shredmtb@fast.net) | Date: 2002-10-21 22:46:57 UTC

NAME: Double EIGHT (Ditto?)
Second 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: From the location of Double Seven, continue on the
(FR/T/P) in the direction that you were heading until you meet
another (FR/T/P). Turn right, and continue until you see the Double
Arrows. (EE 25 means you have gone too far Double Back!) From the
Double Arrows, follow MAH plus 90 degrees, ignoring the (FR/T/P)
coming in on the left until the FR/T/P meets others. Take a sharp
right, ignore the (FR/T/P)'s coming in on the left and pass the gray
stone structure on the left. Continue until this (FR/T/P) meets
another. Turn right, pass a (FR/T/P) coming in on the right, and
continue to a triangle with trees in the middle at the top of
the "steps". Go right at the triangle, then take the first left and
continue until you find this point(P): SS/ FF and EE and LL. Near
this point find the Double Numbers 00 and 44. Note the two digit
number following 00 and the two digit number following 44; subtract
the smaller from the larger, divide by 2 to get a number(#) of
paces. Return to P, Double Back at heading 340 degrees for # paces
to where 00 and 44 are at 200 degrees and a rock is at 160 degrees.
Look at heading 270 degrees, between Double Logs, to find Double
Eight.
