Rockwood Park is located on the corner of Shipley Road and Washington Street Extension. Take the Marsh Road Exit from I-95. Turn right onto Carr Rd, then right at the stop sign onto Washington Street Extension. Go straight through the light. The park will be on the right side.
Go through the first parking lot, turn left and go up the hill to the Visitors Center parking lot, at the top of the hill, to park.
“X” Marks the Spot, by The Squirt
This is The Squirt’s first ever hand-carved stamp. It may be a bit rough, but it was made with great love!
Begin your search at the South East Corner of the parking lot.
Follow the gravel path between the trees to the road and look to your right. You will see a set of stairs.
Go up the stairs and through the Evergreen Arch.
Take 17 paces up the path to the tree that resembles a piñata and the tree that looks painful. Go carefully between them to the stone wall.
Directly behind the place where gentle and sharp rub branches, at the top of the wall, there is a stone with no mortar. Your first prize waits behind the stone.
Star Box, by Little Cat, had a good life, but all things must end eventually. It ha been replaced by Fallen Star. The clues have changed slightly.
Little Cat has had a couple more years of expeirience carving since first we planted this series.
Backtrack to the path and continue another 17 paces to where two paths meet. If you turn, you’ll be right.
Cross the threshold into Wonderland. What kind of flower are you? No fragrance? Then perhaps the garden is best LEFT behind.
Where once a wall hid the garden, now there is only a small knoll. Follow the dirt track out of the garden and out to the road.
To the NW you will see a home for a Hobbit. Starting from the from Hobbit's front door, go around to the back of the house counter-clockwise. Look under the eaves where the roof meets the ground.
Trees' Treasure
This is not Mother Duck's first stamp, but it is a very early one.
Say good-bye to Hobbits and pass their home again. Follow the road past Professor Kirk’s house (and let me know if you find the way to Narnia!), and past the Whomping Willow, too.
Soon you will come to two stone pillars. Leave fairy tales behind and take the high road.
At the top of the hill, there is another stone wall. Follow the wall to the sawed-off stump, and then take three more steps. Under the big, red ball you will find the final prize.
WHEN YOU ARE DONE
------------------
To get back, go back down the hill, turn right, and follow the signs to the Visitors Center lot.

Pull out the clues for other boxes also hidden at Rockwood, and head downhill the way you came.
