THE CIRCLE IS UNBROKEN

Clue #1
From the bridge in the back yard of the Nature Center take a bearing of 240° and head in that direction along the trail. You’ll quickly reach a sign pointing you in all directions but you need only go in one. This time take a bearing of 320° and follow the trail down the hill.

Clue #2
You’ll pass through a stone wall as the trail curves around and then you’ll be walking with the wall on your left. In the spring may apples will be abundant and in the winter the black cherry trees will guide you.

Clue #3
A little further on the trail and you’ll discover Mr. & Mrs. Twist. What kind of trees are they and what part of each is edible? Follow the yellow blazes until you come to an intersection with a large flat rock.

Clue #4
Take a bearing of 240° and follow this branch of the trail until the next fork. This time take the trail that is more traveled and head down the hill past the meadow home of a bird that uses snake skin in its nest.

Clue#5 Once in the woods again you might see some water and a wood duck box on your left. Continue on until you find a tree where one has become four. Push the bark with your finger nail and see how soft it is. The American basswood is a softwood tree and a favorite to the yellow bellied sap sucker.

Clue #6
On the trail a little past the basswood are a tall stump and a sign about unusual birds. Between these two markers lies a rotting log and there you will find the letterbox.

Clue #7
Please be sure to hide the box in the same place and out of sight before returning to the Nature Center. To do so cross the bridge and follow the blue trail blazes until it intersects with the Perimeter trail. Turn right and follow the yellow trail blazes.
