Bring your own ink, dark blue or purple looks best.

Trail Map: www.tiverton.ri.gov/recreation/FtB_TrailGuide.pdf
The first two are micro boxes. Bring your own ink, Dark blue or purple looks best.
Ceres, Vesta, and Pallas are the three largest objects in the asteroid belt.
Pallas:
Walk up the paved driveway, as the road turns right look for a dirt path straight up the hill. follow the dirt path to the Cemetery (TV046).
Look left, you will see a tree next to the stone wall that meets the cemetery wall. Pallas is in the roots of this tree under a rock.
Vesta:
Walk past the lookout tower and follow the Red trail down the stairs, then over a few hills. After you cross two bridges close together, the red trail splits, turn right, up the hill. Follow the red trail for awhile, about a half mile or so. After you pass the house on the right look for a tall tree "kissing" a dead tree. Vesta is behind this tree under a rock. You might need a stick to push it out. If you reach the next bridge you just missed it.
Ceres:
Continue across the bridge and along the riverbank. The trail will turn uphill and you will reach the 80's social networking site. Turn Right onto the Blue trail. Watch for a moss-covered boulder on the right, Ceres is 15 steps passed it in a two-trunked tree.
