4th Hole and 7 Strokes Ago

- New Paltz, NY
From the NYS Thruway, head west on route 299 through New Paltz and across the bridge over the Walkill River.
Just after the bridge, take a right on Springtown Road.
Turn left on Mountain Rest Road. (Toward the Mohonk Mountain House.)
Continue straight through the stop sign and then begin to watch for a pull-off on the right side of the road. This happens directly before a sharp left bend in the road. There is a sign at the pull-off that says "Mohonk Mountain House, 1 mile." If you actually reach the golf course, you've gone too far.
Park at the pull-off. In the trees along the field, look for a V-shaped twin oak on the downhill side of the pull-off. (This tree also has a lowered branch that I initially mistook for an additional, third trunk.)The letterbox is behind the crotch of the tree, tucked inside a hole, under debris.
