**1/22/10 This box has been retired.**

~It is time to once again enjoy the wonderful creations from fellow letterboxers across the country. This round of the "box of the month" club has begun.

These boxes will be in place for approximately the first three (3) weeks of the month. They will then be retired and sent along to their next stop. The beginning of the following month will yield yet another wonderful creation for you to find. The location will remain the same, but the contents will change. You will need to bring your own ink.

To find this monthly changing box, make your way to the lower trails of Szegda Farm in Columbia, CT.
From the intersection of routes 66 and 87, travel down route 87 towards Lebanon. You will be taking your first left on to Szegda Road.
At the stop sign, go left and travel just under a half mile to the parking area for the lower trails on the right hand side of the road. It is marked by a large red sign. There is plenty of off road parking.

Pups are allowed here 8-)

After parking, head uphill towards the gate. Go around it and walk on the wide dirt road/trail. At this time we did not find any blazes, but the way is well-worn and easy to follow.
You will quickly pass under a set of power lines.
Keep going along the road.
You will walk downhill a bit and then come to the opening to a large field.
Follow the road to the right and when you are about to leave the field and go under a second set of power lines, STOP!
Look to your right and see a good size Cedar tree near a stone wall.
From that tree, walk along the stone wall in the direction you came from to the next tree.
At the base of that tree, in a rock "cave", you will find the wonderful Tree of Life: "Etz Hayini" letterbox by Dale End Farm of MA

Please recover well with the trapdoor rock and retrace your steps back to your vehicle.

I hope you get a chance to find all of these.
