THESE BOXES HAVE BEEN REMOVED
Placed by: Dennis & Donna
Placed: 7/30/04
Clues: Easy
Terrain: Easy, but uphill.
Distance: About 3 miles round trip
Time: About 90 minutes, including stamping
Number of boxes: 5
Last checked/reported found: 11/20/04
These boxes are located on Rattlesnake Gutter Road in Leverett, Ma.
As far as I know, there are no more rattlesnakes living here, but please probe any holes with a stick before sticking your hand in.
This can be a popular area, so please make sure that the boxes are rehidden properly so they cannot be seen from the road. Parents, if your child is hiding the box, make sure that he/she is hiding it properly.
Rattlesnake Gutter Rd. is a dirt road that climbs about 1.5 miles through a steep, densely wooded ravine. The road falls away sharply on one side, almost 100 feet down and the rock cliffs rise more than twice as high on the other side of the ravine. Tangles of massive boulders and the huge, moss covered trunks of fallen trees line the sides of the ravine. The temperature drops noticeably as you walk in the dark shadow of looming pines. It has been called the Grand Canyon of Leverett.
To get to Rattlesnake Gutter Rd. From Rt.2 in Erving, go south on Rt.63. Stay on Rt.63 until you see the town line sign for Leverett. From the sign, drive .7 miles. Turn left onto Montague Rd. (There is a sign here that says Leverett Center). Drive on Montague Rd. for 1.5 miles. Turn left onto Rattlesnake Gutter Rd. Drive down the road until you get to the gate. Park at the gate and walk around the gate.
Walk up the road until the brook bed on your left widens. Spot a gray birch tree stump on the side of the road on your left. Count 40 steps and see a mossy covered downed tree on your right. Look behind the log and you will find Spongebob’s enemy. (Be careful that he doesn’t grab your crabby patty).
Continue up the road until you come to a spot where the road washed out. From the downhill side of the first cement barrier, take 25 steps back the way that you came. Spot the 2 small hemlock trees on your left. Look behind the rock that is next to the smaller hemlock and you will find Spongebob’s neighbor.
Continue up the road until you see where the gully is blocked by a rock fall. Keep walking up the road but look carefully at the cliff until you see the rock face’s “lips”. Look to the right side of the road and see a rock overhang. Behind a smaller rock on the right side under the overhang you will find Spongebob’s pet.
Continue up the road until you see some 3 striped trees on your right. Continue on for 30 steps and spot a tree on your right with a hole in its base. Look in the hole and you will find Spongebob’s best friend.
Continue up the road until you see the gate. Just before you get to the gate, look for some rocks on your left. Look in the middle of the rocks under some bark and you will find Spongebob waiting for you. Make sure that you rehide this one carefully.
Now return back to your car the same way that you came. It is all downhill from here.
Have fun and good luck.
