Here is a link to the map of the property: [http://www.cheshirelandtrust.org/documents/DeDominicis.pdf]
Please park on the Corliss Lane cul-de-sac.
Your adventure should take you about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
-Aquaman Letter Box
After you park your car in the cul-de-sac, proceed along the RED trail. Follow the trail, cross over a wooden bridge. Proceed through the opening in the 2nd stone wall. From the opening in the 2nd stone wall, take 54 paces and look for a medium sized boulder (on the edge of the trail) which will be on your LEFT SIDE. From the boulder, take 9 paces, stop and look to your LEFT, and you will see a stone wall. From here, use your compass to take a reading of 135 degrees.
* Walk 20 paces along the 135 degree reading towards the stone wall.
* Look for a small, rotting tree stump.
* Behind the wall (opposite the rotting tree stump), you will see a large flat rock
* Your underwater superhero prize will waiting for you.
* Use BLUE ink for this stamp
-The Flash Letterbox
After leaving the Aquaman Letterbox behind, return to the medium sized boulder and the RED trail. You will continue along this trail for a little while. You will come to a clearing where you will see THREE VERY LARGE ROCKS:
Note: The "Traveling Man" letterbox has been seen in this area!
Continue to the right, along the trail. Cross over the wooden bridge and stay LEFT to keep on the RED trail, crossing a dried up river bed.
Look for a rotting tree stump that will be on your LEFT side close to the trail. Once found, and while standing on the trail, take a compass reading of 210 degrees and look for a "faux 2 sister tree" with a "hidey hole", your next hero is behind that tree.
* Use YELLOW ink for this stamp.
-The Green Lantern Letterbox
Continue on the RED trail for a short distance until you reach the junction of the RED/YELLOW trails. Follow the YELLOW trail to the 4th double blaze (you will be heading downhill). At the 4th double blaze, look LEFT towards the stone wall.
* Walk towards the opening in the stone wall.
* Walk through the stone wall and turn LEFT.
* Take 8 paces and your hero will be under some flat rocks under a leaning shaggy bark tree.
* Use GREEN ink for this stamp.
Return to the YELLOW trail, heading downhill. Continue along the yellow trail until you reach the junction of the YELLOW/ORANGE trail. From here, bear RIGHT onto the ORANGE trail.
-Batman Letterbox
Continue along the ORANGE trail and up a slight incline (This will take some time). Proceed until you reach a stone wall. At the opening of the stone wall, take a reading of 210 degrees. Proceed along the wall towards its end,
and look just past the stump along the western side of the wall you will see several flat rocks where the hero is hiding underneath.
* Use BLACK ink for this stamp.
-Superman Letterbox
Return to the Orange trail. Proceed towards the junction of the ORANGE/RED trail.
Note: The "Hurcher's Bridge Troll" letterbox has been seen in this area!
At the junction turn LEFT and cross back over the wooden bridge. At the end of the wooden bridge, turn LEFT towards "Sandy's Swamp" and head back along the RED trail.
* Follow the RED trail until you see a double headed RED arrow straight ahead of you.
* Turn LEFT and follow the RED trail up the hill.
* From the 1st double RED blaze (just past the curve at the top of the hill) take a compass reading of 70 degrees, and look towards the "elephant nose" tree. Your Super prize will be at the bottom of the tree covered by a pile of branches and leaves.
* Use RED ink for this stamp.
Return to the RED trail. Follow THIS path back towards your car, bike, space ship, or molecule transporter device.
I hope that you enjoy finding these boxes as much as my family and I enjoyed planting them.
