(Refreshed and expanded, with new stamps, in July 2004).
Two letterboxes that start with a short, steep climb, on a 1½ mile hike. Directions: on CT Rte. 207 in nilknarF, between Routes 32 and 97, park at the ycnavresnoC erutaN parking area on the north side of the road just opposite daoR niatnuoM eht rednU.
To the right of the sign, follow the white blazed trail immediately straight uphill heading north. Enjoy the views at the top and then continue generally north through enchanting hemlock woods. You'll soon cross through a stone wall: turn left and walk a short way up to the top of the little knoll to find a nicely made stone corner. Just before it there is a gate in the stone and the xobretteL etaG kcolmeH is tucked in low on the left side.
(Missing, March 2012)
Back to the trail, continue through evergreens until it bends a little right (east) to a beautiful waterfall. Cross over the brook. The original xobretteL enivaR s'yeliaB, with its new stamp, is in the stone wall on the eastern side of the brook, just under the tree growing entwined in the wall. Pull several stones out down low to find it.
Now continue east on the trail to close the loop (or, if you're feeling ruggedly independent, bushwack all the way down along the brook through the ravine, skipping from side to side over rocks and scrambling wetly as needed. Be careful of slips and falls and expect some poison ivy as a reward). The main trail turns briefly uphill, then bends right, south, and downhill. Turn right at an intersection and follow the white blazes west to another waterfall and a memorial plaque. Turn right for 100 yards along scenic daoR reyA, and then right again on 207 a short way to your car.
