Clues

This is a 12-stamp series dedicated to family memories and family businesses. (Both of these need to be cherished and preserved, in my opinion.) We salute our favorite hot dog stands, located all the way from Stratford to Naugatuck, CT.
These are "quickie" boxes: located in high traffic areas, no pads, no ink. Each of the 12 bites from the footlong hot dog is numbered and contained in a pouch made from red and white checkered tablecloth. Please be quick to collect the stamp, and thorough in hiding it again. We hope that you will have the time to enjoy the specialities of each location. For many summers, our family certainly has.

FOURTH BITE LETTERBOX
Lake Zoar Drive-in

Located on RT34 on the Monroe side of the Stevenson Dam. In the humid days of early summer, we would visitt relatives in Monroe and go off into the woods to pick wild mushrooms. Then we would drive to the Lake, and Dad would tell us creepy stories about the two towns that were underneath the water. I hope that you discover Mike's Slaw Dawg here, and the batter-dipped Macaroni and Cheese Bits. Today I had my favorite: Sweet Potato fries with homemade sweet sauce. Bill:$4.44

CLUE: Park in the little lot next to the drive-in. The large lot across the street is for beach patrons only, and as of 2010, the Paugusett Trail lot is for Monroe residents only. SIGH!. CAREFULLY, walk across the street to the Paugusett Trail lot. To the right, you can't miss the stream coming out of a concrete culvert. Walk to the top of the concrete culvert with the large four-sister sycamore tree to your left. As you walk over the culvert and pass the tree, immediately look left up the hill. There is a jumble or "staircase" of rocks with a flat rusty one at the very top. The checkered pouch and fourth bite is behind this rock at the top of the hill.
