TOWING.
This is known as the SchoolHouse trail.
Head South.
Round the bend.
Past the old farm equipment and lame bugs.
Keen ears will pick up on the quail's whistle.
Pass the yield sign & private access.
Pass the stop sign and street crossing ...
Hold your kids' hands, the cars don't stop.
Pass the 3960' marker.
As you near the location, you'll pass a box culvert. The upstream end of which is in someone's back yard.
Begin counting 38 strides.
(remember a stride is 2 foot falls).
This is the spot!
Turn left, SOUTH.
You should be in a cut section of the trail ... like a valley with the banks sloping up on both sides.
The hiding place is at the base of a Power Pole covered with branches.
