We saw a sign for a waterfall and decided to check it out. Didn’t make it that far – got distracted by other things.
From Ten Rod Rd./Rt 165, turn onto Escoheag Hill Rd. There are signs at the turn for Oak Ember Camp Ground and Stepping Stone Ranch if you don’t see the one for the waterfall. (We were going west bound.) Continue down Escoheag Hill Rd past the camp and the ranch and RI Historic Cemetery #7 on the right. Next will be RI Historic Cemetery #6, aka Casey-Rathbun Lot, on the left. There is a pull off on the right just past #6. Park there.
There are many Exeter’s out there but the one that strikes my fancy is in Canada. Here’s why.
EXETER - CANADA
Motto: "Home of the White Squirrel" .
Exeter is a community in the municipality of South Huron, in the southern portion of Huron County, Ontario, Canada. The community proclaims itself the "Home of the White Squirrel", owing to the presence of the unusually-coloured mammals. Exeter's mascot, "Willis The White Wonder", can be seen at many community events throughout the year, including Canada Day celebrations, the Exeter Rodeo, and the Santa Claus Parade.
Before starting your search for this box please be safe. You don’t have to venture down the trail to find the box but be alert for hunters anyway and wearing orange is a good idea.
Walk south from the pull off to a gap in the pines. Walk in and stop at the first boulder on the left (on top of flat concrete). Go around to the back. At the north end behind 2 small stones, you’ll find the prize. Make sure to cover well when you’re done.
Oh, and if you’ve figured out that you’re not really in Exeter, you’re better than we were. We saw the Welcome to Exeter sign when driving back out. There’s no Welcome to West Greenwich when you drive in. So, for the purists out there, I couldn’t come up with anything for West Greenwich, but the Borough of Greenwich in London, England is a pretty neat and historical place.
Greenwich is a borough in London, England, on the banks of the River Thames. Known for its maritime history, it's home to the Cutty Sark, a restored 19th-century ship, the huge National Maritime Museum, and the classical buildings of the Old Royal Naval College. The modern O2 arena sits on a peninsula to the north. Overlooking peaceful Greenwich Park, the Royal Observatory is the site of the Greenwich meridian line.
Hike length: 0.1 miles
