DIRECTIONS AND COMPANIONS
From the town line where Spencer Street in Manchester becomes Silver Lane in East Hartford (near to where 384 joins up with 84), continue on Silver Lane into East Hartford, past the Silver Lane Cemetery, and take the next right onto Cipolla Drive. Drive past the tobacco barn and fields on the left and take the first right at the historic red Josiah Spencer House (1783); the road serpentines through a neighborhood and eventually reaches a dead end, where you park in the cul-de-sac. Be sure to have clues to Wild Rover's "Silver Lane Letterbox", a brother box to this one, as well as clues to RTRW's “Soaring Eagle” letterbox nearby.

COINS OF THE LANE LETTERBOX
*Follow the directions to find Wild Rover's "Silver Lane Letterbox"..

Return to the pair of twin sister trees. Standing between them, take a reading of 350 degrees and proceed 24 steps (every foot) into the woods at the left of the clearing, to a very large tree. Standing alongside this tree, with the tree at your left and the pair of twin sisters behind you, take a reading of 320 degrees and walk 13 steps to another large wolf oak. At the base of this tree lay the "Coins Of The Lane".

**During the winter months when the hill is covered with snow, bring your saucers and snowboards! Access the top of the hill by continuing down Silver Lane past Cipolla Drive. Right onto Ridgewood Road keeping right at the fork all the way up to Veterans Memorial Clubhouse. Note: The hill is lit on winter nights for sledding activities.

I hope you enjoyed this little historic journey. I'd love to hear from you regarding this box!

Thanks to my favorite brother, Wild Rover for yet another exciting letterboxing adventure, and to my special niece Gillian (aka Krusty Krab) for making our treks so much fun!
