LOCATION:  Valley Forge Nat'l Historical Park, Chester County, PA

CHALLENGE:  3 stars

DATE/NUMBER:  28-Jul-1999/13

MAP:  If you managed to locate Revolution #2: The Throne of Joy, you may be interested to know that #3 exists, although its existance may be even harder to prove.

There exists the expected location of the green mountains 116 degrees from box #2, and 83 degrees from rooms with a baby and a quarreler (RBQ). There also exists, 290 degrees from RBQ, a structure (S) from which you may view of the sort of tree that would not be out of place in the backyard of grandma's house.

There exists a place where two trees are co-linear at 196 degrees, 2 points are observable at 244 degrees, and S lies at 115 degrees.

There exists some windows (W) at 300 degrees from the farthest (as seen from the place described above) of the co-linear trees described above; there exists a big, big, tree (BBT) 152 degrees from W.

There exists 200 + 1763 230 degrees from BBT; there exists grass 35 paces and 318 degrees from there; there exists different grass 50 paces and 352 degrees further on; there exists a rock and a three-fingered bush at 40 paces and 294 degrees hence; there exists a letterbox under the rock.

NOTE 3:  Be wary of snakes and other wildlife when reaching into dark places. No need to dig for this box. All bearings magnetic unless otherwise noted. A pace is a long stride counted on a footfall of either foot, i.e. two paces are counted each time the right foot hits the ground. Be aware of if or when there is game hunting in the area.
