3 Years later, I am back, and he is planted. BUT it is up to you to keep him safe as I hear this place is known for no lasting boxes... SO, here's your task:
As you pull into the lot just across from him and the playground, cross the little bridge, take your pictures, climb the trash, slide the slide, then get back to the bridge. Facing the lot, with WG behind you, on the right side, sit next to the bridge. Reach under for the wood ledge that is holding the pouch and #19. *Please make sure you are clear with no eyes peeking, and that you get the pouch sealed, and put back into the box I secured under the bridge. Enjoy!

Stand in front, then behind. Looking at his backside, between the wood and cement, in the metal 'hole' is the pouch slide inside, with some rock/debris in front of it. PLEASE make sure you are alone, and that you seal and pouch the pouch back out of sight...

View from inside looking at the trail. Top left 3 trees hold box.
Facing his replacer, go North up the Coast1 for 2.6mi and turn left, into a small pull off. Take this trail, ohh prickly pear! -behind the houses. As it curves left, look to your right for the ties. (This will be before the water) There will be a skinny tree, with 2 even skinny-er trees behind it. Look behind the skinny, and skinny-er tree!
*I parked here, off to the side, & not in front of the trail, but park at your own risk, I wasn't and am still not sure.
WG 23
*Unknown. Between the wood and cement you will find the black pouch. *Note the historic site's hours and fees they apply.

In the large park in Missouri where this giant use to reside, find the forest with the trail marking John F. Kennedy Trail. You should be parked in the culd-de-sac with restrooms and a shelter. At this trail head, take the path winding back and forth. You'll then pass an overlook seating area of sorts with a gravel path behind it leading to the road and the cross a boardwalk. When you get to boardwalk #2 stop and don't cross. But sit down on the right, and remove Only the large front rock to slide the box out. Please use caution as the road is just to the right and there are constant bikers/walkers making their way through. Also, make sure the spor is set up safely and properly for a long life for the box.

Take the gravel road behind the giant that leads out to the HWY 21. Go to the beach. Keep going in a Southern direction until you get on the T.H. Lake Walk. Follow the curve right, then just before the one left uphill, look right for a pile of mossy rocks. Under the large rock, and with others covering it, will be the giant. Thank you Dartmoor Dreamer for putting together this entire package for me to get planted.
WG 26
Facing the gentle giant, look right at the bed of rocks. In the middle, about, is a small bush. Next to it, is a large container containing the WIWG.
WG 27
When you reach 'Waokiye Terrace,' look to the right, just behind it for "Ocotillo" -a desert 'coral' type of plant that rests just behind a log placed on the ground. This is your seat, and between the Ocotillo and log seat is a spor, and wood pieces. In a nook holds the Waokiye box.
WG 28
Although now gone, a new one rests, where this one once, stood tall and best. Just add 40 to find his counter piece friend, who now stands tall, facing the wind.

Find what town this Giant is in. Then, travel east on Highway 36 until you see a pull off with 2 historical markers. It will be a little bit east of town. One tells a brief bit of the town's history, and the other is a granite memorial commemorating a local Pony Express Station and the brave riders who carried the mail. On the western side of this pull off are located 2 trees, one close to a drainage ditch and the highway, the other due south of it. Go to the more southerly one. It should have two healthy trunks coming up from the ground, and the rotting stump of a third. Beneath this rotting stump is a hole. Here is where you will find the Giant. The grass was pretty tall when I was here, so if it, is be sure to check yourself for ticks, chiggers, and other creepy crawlies. And please rehide as well or better than you found it.
After logging in continue, into town to see the real Giant. He is located at the county courthouse. --Dancingpecan
