467.     Wanda's Wanda-rings: Benton MacKaye Trail
Another addition to this "wanderful series" bridging the gap from Georgia to the woods of western RI!

This box, put together by Beachcomber of GA with a gorgeous carving of the "gut -swinging bridge over the Toccoa River" carved by Spitfire of GA, can currently either be found as part of the "Wanda's Wanda-rings" series or by itself on a shortcut from the "Bald Hill back door". (Of course, however you do it, it still only counts as one box, so please do not list it as a find both under this name and under the "Wanda-rings if you are finding the same box in the same place!;-) If just doing this box alone, go to the small North/South Trail parking lot on the left a few hundred feet south down the road across from "Appie Crossing" at the old white Baptist Church on route 165 in Exeter, RI. Head east past the gate up the old tote road trail (that is the "bail-out" point for those stopping their "wanderings" after PCT#1), bear right at the first main junction (NOT the sharper right onto the white-blazed trail nearby!) and continue about half a mile, passing the Long Path, NJ Trails, and AT #3, and stepping over a couple of logs across the trail to find a sizable grey birch on the left side of the trail with a rock behind it about 5 steps off trail (diagonally right facing the left side of the trail). Behind that rock, find the box with its stamp depicting that famous swinging bridge where I remember my dog Victor scrunching down to pussy-foot across as she joined me for my last few days that year on the trail!
