30 Oaks Ranch Box #4 The Cornfield

Yes we even picked corn for my Uncle Ivor when he had the ranch. One wonderful thing about picking corn is that it waa cooler time of year and at least there was always shade. Theodd thing that stands outin my mind is the fact that we would always eat a raw ear of corn with our lunch. If you have never tasted raw corn then you have no idea how sweet, tasty and satisfying it can be.

Clues

1. Drive up Hobble Creek Canyon and stop near this sign at the catch Basin. Go through the gate in photo and follow the road on the right to theeast (Not the road that goes over the catch basin dam)

2. Begin looking to your left when you reach the clump of trees and shrubs that are between the two roads. as seen in photo to the left.

3. Look for a sign that tells about "Wildlife in Hobble Creek Canyon". You will see a dirt path through through brush that leads to the main road.

4. Take 9 steps on that path then look back over your right shoulder.

5. The box is underneath the lone rock.

30 Oaks Ranch Box #3 The Barn

While you cannot actually visit the barn, and quite frankly, it is in such disrepair and is so dangerous that you wouldn't even want to, still I can tell you about how much fun is to have access to a place like that as a child. Lying in the straw and day-dreaming is a great way to wile away a hot summer afternoon, particularly after a hard day's work in the fields. It is also a fun place to play even though it is dangerous, and forbidden and you spend most of your time playing look-out fin case adults come around.

Next time you see an old barn, just imagine all the memories and secrets its history could reveal.

Clue.

1. Go to 30 Oaks & Canyon Road in Springville, Utah

2. Follow the sidewalk up the hill to where the sidewalk ends.

From there you can look down and see the two green fields where the cornfield was on the right and the bean field on the left. (A reference for future boxes).

2. On the south side of the 9th big rock to the west, you should find the box under a cairn of smaller stones. If you get to the rock shown below, you have gone too far.

Warning: There has been an arsonist in the area who has started at least 4 brushfires. I hope the box is okay. Be on the lookout for anyone who may look suspicious. (other than yourself)

Happy Boxing.
