**10/10/10 As of today, I have been informed that box number 5 is missing. Only the lid to the box was recovered. Maybe someday he will come home... 8-(**
Make your way to Machi Moodus State Park located on route 151 in Moodus. This is a beautiful park that dogs (on leash) are very welcome at. We met many while we were planting this series. My own stopped for a nice swim after we had finished.
You will need multiple colors for some of these carvings. The "skeeters" were quite hungry today, so I would suggest some industrial strength bug repellent!!!!!!!
Also, there are only two log book, one in the first box and one in the last.
After parking, walk on the wide dirt road , passing a signboard on your left.
You will then go by some water and come to a second signboard.
You will need to take the path to the right here that heads downhill.
Pass an old barn/storage shed on your left and continue on. Stop at the second large evergreen on your left.
Face this tree and look slightly left and uphill. There you will see a two sister Oak. Look behind it to find box #1-The Year of the Dog.
"1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006
People born in the Year of the Dog possess the best traits of human nature. They have a deep sense of loyalty, are honest, and inspire other people's confidence because they know how to keep secrets. But Dog People are somewhat selfish, terribly stubborn, and eccentric. They care little for wealth, yet somehow always seem to have money. They can be cold emotionally and sometimes distant at parties. They can find fault with many things and are noted for their sharp tongues. Dog people make good leaders. They are compatible with those born in the Years of the Horse, Tiger, and Rabbit."
Continue on the trail and soon you will come to a wide, grassy trail on your left. Walk up this trail~34 steps and stop. Look to your right and see a knee high rock. Look behind it to find box #2-The Year of the Boar.
"1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007
People born in the Year of the Pig are chivalrous and gallant. Whatever they do, they do with all their strength. For Boar Year people, there is no left or right and there is no retreat. They have tremendous fortitude and great honesty. They don't make many friends but they make them for life, and anyone having a Boar Year friend is fortunate for they are extremely loyal. They don't talk much but have a great thirst for knowledge. They study a great deal and are generally well informed. Boar people are quick tempered, yet they hate arguments and quarreling. They are kind to their loved ones. No matter how bad problems seem to be, Boar people try to work them out, honestly if sometimes impulsively. They are most compatible with Rabbits and Sheep."
Go back to the main trail and continue on until you come to a large ~10 foot stump on the left. Look behind it to find box #3-The Year of the Rat.
"1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996
People born in the Year of the Rat are noted for their charm and attraction for the opposite sex. They work hard to achieve their goals, acquire possessions, and are likely to be perfectionists. They are basically thrifty with money. Rat people are easily angered and love to gossip. Their ambitions are big, and they are usually very successful. They are most compatible with people born in the years of the Dragon, Monkey, and Ox."
Now start walking uphill and soon you will pass a small ledge on your right. Just a little bit farther, you will come to a large rock with many trees growing on top of it. Walk on the right side of this rock and look about 3/4 the way down its side, very low for box #4-The Year of the Ox.
" 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997
People born in the Year of the Ox are patient, speak little, and inspire confidence in others. They tend, however, to be eccentric, and bigoted, and they anger easily. They have fierce tempers and although they speak little, when they do they are quite eloquent. Ox people are mentally and physically alert. Generally easy-going, they can be remarkably stubborn, and they hate to fail or be opposed. They are most compatible with Snake, Rooster, and Rat people."
Continue on, passing a field on the left. After the field ends, keep an eye out on the left for a short, cut stump. Look behind it to find box #5-The Year of the Tiger.
"1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998
Tiger people are sensitive, given to deep thinking, capable of great sympathy. They can be extremely short-tempered, however. Other people have great respect for them, but sometimes tiger people come into conflict with older people or those in authority. Sometimes Tiger people cannot make up their minds, which can result in a poor, hasty decision or a sound decision arrived at too late. They are suspicious of others, but they are courageous and powerful. Tigers are most compatible with Horses, Dragons, and Dogs"
Continue on and pass a cool evergreen standing on its tippy toes on your right. Actually there are a few trees here that look odd. Now pass a tall stump on the left. At the top of a small rise, stop and look left. You will see a pile of rocks up a small hill. Look in the far right end for box #6-The Year of the Rabbit.
"1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999
People born in the Year of the Rabbit are articulate, talented, and ambitious. They are virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste. Rabbit people are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky. They are fond of gossip but are tactful and generally kind. Rabbit people seldom lose their temper. They are clever at business and being conscientious, never back out of a contract. They would make good gamblers for they have the uncanny gift of choosing the right thing. However, they seldom gamble, as they are conservative and wise. They are most compatible with those born in the years of the Sheep, Pig, and Dog."
You will next come to trail post. Follow it downhill in the direction that the arrow points. Pass a small pond on your left. Walk along with open areas on both sides of you. After a short walk, the trail turns left, but you can go straight ahead to see an overlook (much better when there are no leaves!!)and then come back to that turn and take it, proceeding uphill. Before you reach the top you will have a small ledge on your left. Go around the right side to the top. Look for the Birch growing on top of the rock and then check its roots for box #7-The Year of the Dragon.
"1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000
People born in the Year of the Dragon are healthy, energetic, excitable, short-tempered, and stubborn. They are also honest, sensitive, brave, and they inspire confidence and trust. Dragon people are the most eccentric of any in the eastern zodiac. They neither borrow money nor make flowery speeches, but they tend to be soft-hearted which sometimes gives others an advantage over them. They are compatible with Rats, Snakes, Monkeys, and Roosters."
Continue uphill and just before crossing a wooden bridge, stop. Turn left and walk ~16 steps to the end of the stone wall. Go about 2 feet along its right side and look low in the wall for box #8-The Year of the Snake.
"1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001
People born in the Year of the Snake are deep. They say little and possess great wisdom. They never have to worry about money; they are financially fortunate. Snake people are often quite vain, selfish, and a bit stingy. Yet they have tremendous sympathy for others and try to help those less fortunate. Snake people tend to overdo, since they have doubts about other people's judgment and prefer to rely on themselves. They are determined in whatever they do and hate to fail. Although calm on the surface, they are intense and passionate. Snake people are usually good-looking and sometimes have marital problems because they are fickle. They are most compatible with the Ox and Rooster."
Cross the wooden bridge and continue, up uP UP!!! At the top, look left and see a stone wall. Go the left end of the wall and look low about 3 feet to the right for box #(-The Year of the Horse.
"1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002
People born in the Year of the Horse are popular. They are cheerful, skillful with money, and perceptive, although they sometimes talk too much. The are wise, talented, good with their hands, and sometimes have a weakness for members of the opposite sex. They are impatient and hot-blooded about everything except their daily work. They like entertainment and large crowds. They are very independent and rarely listen to advice. They are most compatible with Tigers, Dogs, and Sheep."
Next you will come to faint "Y". If you go left, uphill, you can sit at a bench with a pretty view (again it is prettier without the leaves on the trees). You will need to go right and when you come to a wooden trail post, turn left on the wide dirt path. Go up and up (not as steep as the last one though). When you come to a path on the left that is flanked by two large rocks, stop. Look behind the rock to the right of the path for box #10-The Year of the Goat.
"1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003
People born in the Year of Ram are elegant and highly accomplished in the arts. They seem to be, at first glance, better off than those born in the zodiac's other years. But ram year people are often shy, pessimistic, and puzzled about life. They are usually deeply religious, yet timid by nature. Sometimes clumsy in speech, they are always passionate about what they do and what they believe in. Ram people never have to worry about having the best in life for their abilities make money for them, and they are able to enjoy the creature comforts that they like. Ram people are wise, gentle, and compassionate. They are compatible with Rabbits, Pigs, and Horses."
Continue on, now heading downhill. Look for a stone wall on the right side of the trail When you see it, stop. Look left and see that there is a continuation of this wall on that side also. Follow the wall on the left of the trail, on its right side, for ~18 steps. There you will see a large, white rock on top of the wall. Look low in the wall beneath it to find box #11-The Year of the Monkey.
"1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004
People born in the Year of the Monkey are the erratic geniuses of the cycle. Clever, skillful, and flexible, they are remarkably inventive and original and can solve the most difficult problems with ease. There are few fields in which Monkey people wouldn't be successful but they have a disconcerting habit of being too agreeable. They want to do things now, and if they cannot get started immediately, they become discouraged and sometimes leave their projects. Although good at making decisions, they tend to look down on others. Having common sense, Monkey people have a deep desire for knowledge and have excellent memories. Monkey people are strong willed but their anger cools quickly. They are most compatible with the Dragon and Rat."
Continue downhill and you will see a small area of large evergreens on your left. Stop here. Turn right and walk ~17 steps to a 1-1 1/2 foot high rock. Look behind it for box #12-The Year of the Rooster.
"1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005
People born in the Year of the Rooster are deep thinkers, capable, and talented. They like to be busy and are devoted beyond their capabilities and are deeply disappointed if they fail. People born in the Rooster Year are often a bit eccentric, and often have rather difficult relationship with others. They always think they are right and usually are! They frequently are loners and though they give the outward impression of being adventurous, they are timid. Rooster people¡¦s emotions like their fortunes, swing very high to very low. They can be selfish and too outspoken, but are always interesting and can be extremely brave. They are most compatible with Ox, Snake, and Dragon."
Continue going downhill and you will come to the signboard near the water. Turn right and head back to your car, or let your pup take a swim if you have one.
Feel free to write which sign you were born under in the log book. I am a Monkey...
Have fun!
