Start at the yellow pole and enter the woods. Walk past the birdwatching blinds on your left.
Soon after that, turn left on the purple triangle trail. You will see some big boulders on your left that you might want to explore.
Continue down the rocky purple triangle trail as it turns left.
When you come to the crossing trail, turn right. This will still be the purple triangle trail, and it will meander downhill.
You will come to a smaller, rocky trail on your left that will lead you downhill (while the purple trail goes up). Take the left trail down the hill.
At the end of the trail, turn left onto the blue rectangle trail.
When you see a LOT of blue rectangular blazes on your left, that’s your sign to take that trail. Take the lower blue rectangle trail to the right.
You will go through a small boulder field as the trail winds its way back up.
The post will be by two boulders.
To get back to your vehicle, keep following that trail. Notice the quartz in the ground.
When you get out of the woods, stay on the trail, then turn left toward the parking area.

Patterns can be found everywhere.
Leopards and ladybirds are spotted; angelfish and zebras are striped.
Echinoderms, like a starfish, have fivefold symmetry; snowflakes have sixfold symmetry.
