From the North or South in Simsbury follow Terrys Plain Road to Wintonbury Road. Follow Wintonbury Rd to the end and park your car.

On the right side before the blue trail is an orange blazed trail (there's a "trail" sign here). After a pretty good uphill you come to an "almost" flat spot. This morning at the edge of the clearing I thought I saw a statue of a buck and wondering how it got there, I moved in to take a closer look and nearly had a stroke when I got to within 10 feet of it and realized it was a real deer. It never moved, it appeared to have no fear of us. Keep going up and at the top of this hill watch for a white birch tree on the left. Take a few more steps along the trail and look left for a two sister tree uphill. Looking behind this will give you a bonus box that used to be attached to Struck My Fancy (no logbook). If you start going downhill for the first time, you went too far (and if the birch falls, go back after you see the downhill. The two sister is pretty obvious).
Continue on the orange trail and after a couple of ups and downs watch for a metal orange maker high on a tree above an orange blaze. If you look to the right you might catch a glimpse of a couple of other markers apparently marking a trail down to residential property. Continue on the main trail, down and up again and on an uphill watch for a three sister tree on the left with an old metal sign grown into the trunk high up. After a short flat stretch the trail goes gradually uphill and near the top you need to watch for a smallish roundish rock at the base of an orange blazed tree (NOT a sister tree)on the right (looking left into the woods you might catch a glimpse of some blue blazes where the Blue with red dot trail goes up to the Metacomet)from this tree site 70 degrees to find a "lump" 15 feet off trail on the left which is rock with tree debris on top. Look under an overhang in the front of this rock for Aflac with logbook.
You may continue on to Lake Louise or go up to the blue trail or turn back to your car.
