Taylor Mountain Series
Cedar Box

Placed on November 9, 2002 by hoofandspoke

LOCATION: Taylor Mountain County Park

Nearest City: Hobart
County: King
State: Washington
Country: USA

NOTES
I hope to have all of my boxes be accessible to
equestrians, hikers and mtn. bikers. You will need to
dismount to get to the box, btw.

TREK AND WEATHER FACTORS
For Summer Clues: Medium 6-7 for hiking difficulty.
Could be wet in the winter in quite a few spots. As a
horse ride, this isn't for a pansy show horse, but any
average horse who is fit should be able to negotiate
it just fine. Do not use this trailhead in the winter
if it is marked "Trails Closed." I may supply a
different set of clues for winter horseback or
mountain bike access at some point.

For Winter Clues: Easy. Could be wet in the winter in
a handful of spots. As a horse ride, this one's not
even worth it unless you plan to explore the rest of
the trails afterwards.

Wheelchair access not available for this series,
sorry.

RESTRICTIONS
It's a county park, so dogs should remain on leash at
all times. Report wildlife (bear and/or cougar)
sightings to the County. Please use the Winter clues
if there are trail closures.

TIME TO COMPLETE
About 2.5 hours for the Summer Clues. Significantly
less for the Winter Clues. I can't really judge by
foot for humans. Please let me know and I will update
this section.

CLUE DIFFICULTY
Fairly easy is my guess.

STAMP QUALITY
Medium.

CLUES
Start at the Alder box.

Continue up the trail east/northeast.

It will wind northerly and then eventually back to the
west.

After a slight climb, you will start facing more
northerly again.

When the trail levels off at the top of the climb, you
will be facing more north again.

You will encounter a section of trail with gravel
where it straightens out.

On your left you will find a large cedar stump about
3-4 feet off the trail.

Your treasure is tucked around the corner inside the
stump, out of site from the trail.

Please make sure the box is tucked out of sight from
the trail after you have logged in.

To return to where you parked for the Winter Clues,
continue on the trail to the north. When you cross the
bridge and come out on the logging road, take a left.
Stay on this road all the way back to the gate.

To return to where you parked for the Summer Clues,
continue on the trail to the north. When you cross the
bridge and come out on the loggin road, take a right.
When you come to the next loggin road intersection,
take a left and head back west. This road will take
you all the way back to the parking area.

Look for clues for my next box to start from Cedar
Box.

Before you start, please read Waiver of responsibility
and disclaimer.
