Location: Becker Hollow Trail, in arch of fallen tree before the crossing bridge, West Kill, New York, USA

Solver(s): "RonVanBeak" and "JonlyBonly" on MW Discord

Finders found location based on newly released photos of the hiding spot, but no box. A forest ranger had found it, and returned it to creator the day before. Creator then gave to finders.

Full information about how to solve the hunt has not been released, but I have a suspicion that the repeated use of the word “silent” in the books poem was a hint that the cache was to be found on Becker Hollow Trail. If something is hollow, it can be silent, right?
