DIRECTIONS: Gay City State Park. Route 85 Hebron, CT. Park at the beach parking (if possible.) Seasonal fee to enter park.
INFO: I planted 5 boxes along the WHITE trail. Although they all have different names, you only need to print one set of clues out. Below are the clues to ALL 5 boxes. Please log them on LBNA/AQ by the specific box name-- which will be all in CAPS and "quotes."
BOX 1: "OH NO, IT'S A PUPPY"
This little guy is hand-carved by & listed under Binky on AQ) Start you journey at the head of the WHITE trail coming from the BEACH. Immediately upon entering the trail, you will see a small wooden-plank bridge. After crossing this bridge, take the LEFT fork. About 25 STEPS in, look RIGHT for a small tree with 2 rocks at its base. Behind these rocks hides your PUPPY!
BOX 2: "BUCK FEVER"
(This box is an exchange with the SEEKERS1108 in NC)
Continue on WHITE. Very soon you will see an old downed tree on your RIGHT. It looks like a pile of wood now. On the backside of this pile of timber, just in front of a tree that still stands, hides our BUCK FEVER.
BOX 3: "KITTEN AND HER COLLAR"
(Another BINKY carve!)
Continue on WHITE. The path will turn into a jumble of rocks, going up hill. Then, go down hill. Approximately 10 yards before the bridge, look to your LEFT for a downed tree near a 2 1/2 sister tree. Look behind the stump end closest to the pond for your KITTEN. The day we planted, there was a sizeable carcass in front of the downed tree. We believe this is the remains of someone's pet Iguana that either got loose or they released. For the sake of humanity, I hope it accidently got loose! Either way, it is impressively large and has funny spikes protruding from the spine-- Binky was thinking dinosaur! ROAR!
BOX 4: "SO HAPPY"
(This box is an exchange with Nicole of RedEyedFroggy in MI)
Continue on WHITE, crossing the wooden bridge over the stream. Pass through a stone wall and IMMEDIATELY turn LEFT down the small path following along the stone wall. As the path begins to bend to the right, there is a small black stump touching the left side of the trail. Look for SO HAPPY in the base of the wall behind this stump. Shhh... listen to the chorus of frogs in the marshy pond!
BOX 5: "DAISY DAYS"
(Yet another carve by BINKY)
After you put So Happy away, turn around and face the large rock formation, keeping the stone wall to your back. Make your way up to the highest point-- where the rocks are stacked vertically-- looking a bit like the Ten Commandments to me. At the base of these commandments, accross from a small curvy pine, under a tiny ledge, behind a flat rock hides Binky's Daisy Days.
Thanks for following our trail today. You can return the way you came-- or if you have a trail map continue on in a loop. The white trail zig zags all over, so be sure to bring a TRAIL MAP! Thanks to Enjoinder and TsukiAmes for humoring my planting.
