| Since you've yet to earn your stylishly pointed wizzard's hat you'd better bring some sun block for this quest. Your trial begins on the gated fire road just above Manker Flats Campground and just below the parking area for the Mt. Baldy ski lift. The road, which tavels uphill to a view of the falls, is somewhat paved and easy enough to traverse. Just don't trip over your magical robes. The gate is only there to keep out cars, an opening to the right allows you to pass. Follow the road up for just over a half mile until you reach the look out point for the falls. Enjoy the view and practice your transmutation skill with the Tinsot and Quelbo spells. When you have finished turn around and face back where you came from. To your right you should see 5 poles stuck in the ground supporting a metal rope. Walk,* back to the fourth pole on your right and stop there. Turn to you left and look up the hill. You should see two boulders at the base of some green tree-like things.** Climb up the hill and place your left foot between a rock and a hard place.*** There is a branch of the thing that looks like a tree but really isn't reaching out to the right to bar you way. Look below and behind this branch at roots of the real tree. Under the root, and behind the rocks you will find what you seek. *Or run if you prefer **Don't let their clever ruse fool you, they aren't really trees, just incredibly tree-like ***Which just happens to be another rock |
