Connecticut ABC Series - B
Location: Beachland Park, West Hartford, Hartford Co., Connecticut
Letterboxes: 1
The Connecticut Alphabet (ABC) Series was initially conceived by Pine Tree (of CT). A call was put forth for volunteers to carve and plant letterboxes all over the State. Look for other boxes in this series by other planters!
Planted: 10/16/2008 by The Bird Stamper
Stamp: Carved by The Bird Stamper
Time: 15 minutes
Length: 0.2 mile round trip, 20 foot climb
Difficulty: Easy
Description:
Beachland Park has picnic tables, swimming pools, and a playscape. It is in the Elmwood section of town.
Directions:
Beachland Park, 847 South Quaker Lane. From I-84 take exit 43, Park Rd. Stay in the right most lane. Take a right onto Park Rd and then a right onto Trout Brook Drive. At the end take a right onto South Quaker Lane and a right into the park. Drive to the rear parking lot beyond the pond.
From I-84 West you can take exit 42, Elmwood. Take a right onto Trout Brook Drive and follow as above.
The Clues:
Look on the right of the driveway next to the parking lot, and you will see a lone tree. Go to it and you will see it is a sling shot tree. Aim your sling shot to 5 deg and walk 24 paces to a large maple. Now aim to 335 deg and follow the edge of the wooded section. Walk 36 paces to the fattest tree along the edge of the woods. Duck behind without being seen. Now aim to 100 deg and walk down hill 10 paces and you will find a fat tree with a rusted wire fence in it. Look behind for B.
Special permission for this letterbox was granted by the manager of this preserve. Others wishing to plant here should contact me and I will find out if permission can be extended.
