FALLING LEAVES Another Burlingame area box on part of a 2 mile blue blazed trail between Schoolhouse Pond and the Vin Gormley Trail.

CHECKED - OK on 11 March 2011

This hike begins at the same parking lot off Kings Factory Road as the hike to Schoolhouse Pond (2.3 miles north of route 1 on east side of road). However, instead of taking the dirt road east to the pond, locate a hard-to-spot blue-blazed trail to the west . Soon you emerge onto an old woods road which you follow west for a while as the gently climbing sandy path narrows and passes a series of ledges. Just as you reach the boardwalk in a damp ravine, take a bearing of 75 deg. and walk about 25 steps to a flat bit of ledge with a leaning tree growing up on its backside. You will find the letterbox tucked under the ledge amidst the fallen leaves. Return the way you came or continue about 10 minutes on the blue-blazed trail to reach the yellow-blazed Vin Gormley Trail and the first box of the Lil' Rhody Runaround Series.
