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.

  1. This box is missing. I plan to replace it very soon.
