Man in the Mountain (Underhill VT) question

From: yagercs1 (yagercs1@yahoo.com) | Date: 2002-11-06 05:19:26 UTC
Has anyone found this box?

I went up a couple weeks ago, attempting to find my very first box,
but I couldn't come up with it. I found the sign the clues mention,
but the clues said the chin should be at 140 degrees from there. I've
hiked Mt Mansfield dozens of times and the chin is North of this sign,
as well as being north of the entire Sunset Ridge trail, so I'm
confused by this.

Help?

Thanks,
Chris

This is our box.  We got a postcard just a couple of weeks ago that someone found the box.  They didn't mention any problem with the clues.  The only other person that I know has found it is Tom Cooch.  It's just a few steps off trail from the sign.
