The second box has a wet logbook. Please remove it even if you don't have a replacement with you. Thanks.
Two boxes located on Mt. Ascutney, taking about an hour and a half round trip. Quite steep, so only good for very hardy children. I also wouldn't recommend it for winter boxing.
From the center of Brownsville go one mile west on Rt. 44 and turn left on Coaching Lane Rd. Drive 0.6 miles, bear left at fork, go 0.1 miles to a small road on the right, if you end up in someone's driveway, turn and go back. Go 0.1 miles on this road with grass in the middle (not to worry, safe in good weather)turning left before you get to an old gate. When turning in here, look into the overgrowth to the right for a granite marker commemorating this trail in 1991. Continue another 0.1 miles to a grassy parking lot on the left.
This trail is blazed yellow, follow yellow uphill to a green sign indicating that the Bicentennial Trail goes straight. Continuing on, the next sign tells you that the quarry is to the left (sometimes this sign is missing but it's the first fork trail that you come to. There may be left trails before this but this is a fork) so for your first find, go there. Follow this trail until you come to the first of the big quarry rocks ( a tree has landed just before this so duck under). At this point there will be a multi-trunked bush to the left of the trail and directly behind this, under a granite slab, looking like a table top with drill marks on the under side, you will find box #1. Please make sure it is covered well and then explore the quarry if you like. You might even see a waterfall.
Oh Nuts, now we go back to the Bicentennial Trail and climb some more. Keeping to the yellow until another trail sign that indicates a waterfall and a view. Go to the view if you wish but first go right onto the white trail (to the right, do not stay on yellow, follow the arrows on the sign) to the 70 foot waterfall,which looks like a Church in the Wild. Here, at trail's end, there's a log across the trail. From this log count 6 steps back the way you came, looking uphill for two sets of twin sister beech trees. Three steps left of the one on the right, under an overhang at the base of the large rock, will be box #2. Please cover well, enjoy the falls and return to your car the way you came up.
Thanks for visiting my favorite Vermont town.
