If you are at this box and some maintenance needs done, please go ahead and do it rather than emailing the planter once you get home. That includes relocating and/or removing the box if there is imminent danger to its survival. Please only do this as a last resort as there is likely a reason the box was hidden "here" instead of somewhere else. If you must move it, it is preferable that you hide it nearby rather than remove it completely since the clues can always be modified much easier than the box can be replaced but do what you feel is best.
==========

There's a great little county park off Buford Hwy at Hwy 317. (Hint: it's a guy's name, initials GP.)

Go into this park and drive all the way to the end of the road to the parking area. Now, hike 1/4 mile back up the road to the nature trail sign. (Don't ask me why there's no parking at the trailhead... --hey, we're here for the exercise, right??)

Head up the trail past a couple of benches. At one bench, the trail will fork--take the left fork across a long bridge. Just after the bridge, take the smaller trail to the right. Stay on the large, lower trail, not the bike trails that go up into the woods. A little ways down, the trail bumps up sharply at a right-hand curve. Not much further, and you will see a tree almost on the trail at your right which has a significant hunk of bark missing on the trail side. Across from that is one of those sewer-thingies (not the first you will pass). Take about 70 regular steps along the trail from the sewer-thingie, and you will draw even with a tall grey-bark tree almost on the trail at your left, with a matching tree a few yards behind it.

That marks a small footpath that heads up the hill. Follow this short path until it dead ends into another and go right. This path will also dead end and as before, go right. Once more this path with quickly dead end but this time go left. About 8 steps up the trail on your right you will find a tree with five trunks. That's where she be.

There is a playground and picnic areas, so indulge as you see fit.

Hike Length: 0.5 miles
