***8/10/13 UPDATED CLUES****
This box is alive and well!
This box is located in Pine Hill Park, right behind Giorgetti Park (a skating and skateboard rink). To get there, take Rt. 7 to Crescent Street. Then turn right on Preville Ave (a one-way street). Turn right into the Giorgetti Park parking lot and park near the woods. That is Pine Hill Park. Walk up the hill to the trail head and grab a map if possible. Also, you can print off a map here.
http://www.pinehillpark.org/php/Maps.html Walk across the boardwalk and stand by the enormous elephant rock.
Note: The numbers referred to in the clues are the numbers located on signs throughout the park.
From the elephant rock, take the Upper Giorgetti Trail to #7. Take a left onto Trillium Trail and cross Crusher Road. Continue on Trillium and turn right onto Pond Road. Stay on Pond Rd. for about 20 minutes, until you can see the pond. At #32, turn left on the Overlook Trail. Cross over the arched bridge. (If you visit in the wintertime you may want to skip the icy bridge and just walk alongside it!) Continue on the winding trail for about 10-15 minutes. The trail will end at a beautiful rock overlook of Rocky Pond. Stop to enjoy the view and catch your breath. Now, at the wide Overlook intersection, stand at the 2-sisters tree, so you are facing #37 Stegosaurus Trail. See the faint trail to the right of 37? From the 2 sisters, walk roughly 35 steps up that trail until you come to the tall tree on the path. Turn left, so you are facing the rock ledge. With your back to the tree, walk straight to the ledge about 10 steps. The treasure you seek is at chest level, under a pile of rocks. Please be discreet and rehide well. This is a popular spot, with a Geocache in the vicinity.
