Thank you to Team Rogue for finding this old series. The trails have changed since I originally planted so please follow the Team Rogue Clue Update
Team Rogue: Clue Update: You will follow the red blazed Oak Valley Trail, Rec Path & blue blazed Paugussett trail.
Box 1: Follow the Oak Valley Trail til it makes a right turn. See “tulip “W”” continue with original clues
Box 2: Continue on the Oak Valley Trail until you come out of the woods and are under the power lines. Follow the Oak Valley Trail to the right up the hill to the top(towers were replaced and moved) look for hill of rocks on left continue with original clues.
Box 3: Continue down the Oak Valley Trail past the new towers and merge with the Rec Path. Follow the trail until the Oak Valley Trail splits off to the left. After you go left there is a stone wall on the right. Continue with original clue.
Box 4: Go back the way you came and go left on the Rec Path. Follow the Rec Path to the blue blazed Paugussett trail. Go right on the Paugussett trail to walk the backside of the lake to get back. Continue with original clues.I was getting into the holiday spirit the other day. These are easy boxes on an easy to moderate trail. It may take about an hour.
These boxes are planted at Stewart Woods, Shelton.
Stewart Woods & Hope Pond are located on Nell's Rock Road. Park in the gravel lot.
At kiosk go left onto white blazed Oak Valley trail. Walk over two plank bridges. Right before you join with the orange trail look for the tulip "W". Facing the "W" look left up hill. Walk 10 steps to find the "Silver Bell".
Continue on white trail. Walk over another plank bridge (be careful over rocks). The trail splits in the field. Follow white toward power lines to the right, do not re-enter woods yet). At first line tower carefully walk up the hill of rocks on the left. Directly in front of the mountain laurel look for the split rock. Here you will find the "Candy Cane".
Continue on white trail. This can get a bit muddy at times. Pass the yellow/white split (stay on white). Soon after split there is a stone wall on right. Walk thru the opening in the stone wall on right toward the large stump. Turn around, the "Pine tree" is in the back side of the wall.
Follow white until it joins orange. Follow orange, this is Dominick Trail. This will lead you back to the lake. This is not a loop around the lake trail, so now you walk the backside of the lake to get back.
Walk through the pine forest. Pass the opening in the trees where you can see your car across the lake. A short way along, look for boulders on the right. Look under the back side of the boulder big enough to be a park bench. Here you will find the "Wreath"
Continue on orange to loop around lake. Follow to orange/white then follow white to return to your car.
I would love to hear feedback since these are the first boxes I have planted. critters10002000@yahoo.com.
