Level of Difficulty: Easy
Time: I forgot my pedo, but I would guess that it is no more than 1.5 miles round-trip.

Mythological Monsters is planted on the Nordic Ski Trail in Charleston, NY (google maps address has it as Esperance) in Montgomery County.

Directions:

You can use google maps to find the pullover. It is between Fox St and Gorden Rd. on Rte 30A.

Or you can get to it the way I do:

Take I-88 West to Exit 24- Duanesburg. Take a left off the ramp. At the stop sign, turn right on to Rte 20. Go about 11 miles on Rte 20 to Rte 30A/Rte 162. Take a right onto Rte 30A/Rte 162. Go .8 mile and go right to stay on Rte 30A. The pullover is 3.7 miles on the right. This pullover has a big map and a kiosk.

**There is no ink in the boxes and the last one contains the logbook.

Clues:

Nessie

Sign in and start down the trail. Pass a pond on the left. Take the next trail on the right, marked by a white arrow for the Lower Loop. Go 24 paces down this trail to your 1st Evergreen tree on the right. Look at the base of the tree for Nessie.

Big Foot

Continue down the trail. Take the next trail on the left. Pass a pond on your left. Once you get to the rock wall, walk through it and look to your left for a large downed tree that extends over the wall. On the backside of this tree and in front of the wall is Big Foot.

Chupacobra

Continue on the trail. At the next rock wall BEFORE passing through it, go 15 paces to the right to a big tree. Look at the base of the tree for Chupacobra.

Werewolf

Pass through the rock wall and go 6 paces to an unmarked path to the right. Take this all the way to the pond. (It might be a little wet at the end. If so, there is a small foot path to the left right before the end that goes around it a little to get to the pond.) Once at the pond, take the trail leading up the hill to a clearing. From the corner of the clearing, take 13 paces along the left side of the woods to a 3-trunk pine tree. (the 2 small ones are broken). Look inside the stump of one of the broken trunks for Werewolf.

Please enjoy this series! We had so much fun making it!!!

To get back: Continue down the trail, passing a trail on the right. At the intersection, take a left and follow it make to your car.
