I hid this in Sunny Brook because I wanted a reason to hike these trails again. I have found all the boxes here but now I can come back often to check on this one. I borrowed some of the directions for Don't Be Madd.


Directions: On Rt. 4 west out of Torrington, turn right at the police station onto Winsted Road. Straight through the next light then turn left at the set of lights at the white church onto Newfield Road. At 2.4 miles you'll see a sign on the right, at a bridge pointing out the John Muir Trail.

Just after the bridge on the left is the park entrance marked only by stone pillars and a no littering sign. Plenty of parking.

Head down the road past the yellow gate and turn into the woods on the right 65 steps before the cement bridge. There should be blue blazes on the pavement at this point. Cross over a wooden bridge to a nature trail sign high on a tree. This is a loop hike and you'll come back to this point at the end. For now continue straight on the blue trail, crossing another wooden bridge and then seeing a yellow trail coming in from the left. At the Y intersection orange goes right but stay on blue to the leftish. Continue on blue being careful of orange again going right (or straight?) You'll be mostly going uphill until almost the top where the trail takes a left turn and then heads downhill.After you pass the S shaped tree and you start to descend, before the yellow trail marker, you will come to a "rock garden". Find the top rock and under it you will find " A Spring Thing". Dont Be Madd is close by so make sure you bring the clues for that too.
