MAP:
It is extremely likely that this box has gone missing, tho
this has never been confirmed, and likely never will be confirmed.
Still, there is no reason you can't enjoy the clues and possibly use
it to find the next one, however.
If you found Revolution #3: Trees and Grass,
you can use it as the starting point for this quest:
From that box follow a bearing of 5.5 degrees to the ruins.
Find and follow the trail heading 40 degrees to a deadend
into another trail, go left, and follow this beautiful trail
for a while.
Where a tree splits, the trail splits, and another splits at
239 degrees from the first. Take the rightmost path, following
it in a northish/northeastish direction for a while, to where
you'll see a black and white rock on the left just as the trail
has completed a bend from north to about 70 degrees. Spy a
big boulder at 355 degrees from this point.
Continue on the trail, and look for a boulder 27 paces into the
bushes at 24 degrees as the trail is completing a bend back to
the north. From that boulder its 37 paces at 108 degrees to
a big tulip tree, and 8 paces at 288 degrees to a triangle
rock.
From that rock there is a creek to the northeast, and the creek
flows downstream 'till it ends. From this end find a trail at 22
degrees. Trail run on this trail for 8 minutes and 54 seconds
on bearing 108 to the freshets, and continue running from there
for another 4:10 to the point where the point is visible at 156
degrees.
The exact location of the Point varies, of course,
so assume it is where you can see the high-rise at 124 degrees, and
a thin sycamore through the trees at 42 degrees. From there, its
34 paces at 74 degrees, then 17 paces due south to the box underwood.
