Second Box in the Castle Series: Black Tower
Difficulty: just a walk in the park
A little background information:
Castle Hunters were inspired by Burg Eltz, a magnificent medieval castle on the Mosel Valley in Germany. This one, like many other european castles, is a true experience for those who love castles and would like to catch a glimpse of what life used to be like in the Middle Ages.
Rheinfels, Neuschwanstein, and many others in Ireland, France and UK are examples of adventures that castle hunters seek when traveling abroad.
Now we want you to have a castle experience with us in this Castle Series LB. There is one more to come.
Clues to the Black Tower:
Rt15, exit 64 make a right onto Quinnipiac and left on Main St, go straight ahead until you see a cemetary. Turn left and go straight down the hill to Harrison Park. Parking lot is on the right side. The trail head is on the North corner of the lot behind the tennis courts.
Start going towards the picnic table, then turn right. You'll see a bench.. keep going over a small hill (you'll see a 6-trunk tree on your left). Go over a small wood bridge, then the trail bends to the left and to the right again, then at the gulley count around 18 paces uphill and there will be a large tree on the right at 250o. About 20 paces behind the tree, there will be a large cut section of tree, and a standing tree right after it.
Behind this tree, under the logs you'll find the Black Tower.
Please hide it better than you found it.
Like every castle, this one has an alligator to protect the tower... but only the first one here will be able to capture him and set him free to roam Connecticut... feed this alligator a steady diet of letterboxes!
