Playbill Series #4 - Beauty and the Beast

Clues: moderately easy

Terrain: the easy way, mostly moderate; the harder way, VERY rocky.

Time to reach the box:
The easy way, it will take about about 20 minutes.
The harder way will take longer because you have to walk to the trail head (there's no parking available there) and you will have to climb over rocks to reach your destination.

Go to the town that the Mahican Indians called Wnahkutook (the Great Meadow), where John Sargeant built a mission in 1734. From the monument near where the Lion roars, head south.

The easy way:
Turn at the second left onto the street with the pastoral sounding name. Go to the end and park. Cross the running waters and the path of the iron horse. Enter the trail and stay to the right as you progress. (Skip the next paragraph.)

The harder way:
Park in town and walk south 1/2 mile, passing over the bridge, to the third left, a road with a wintery sounding name. Walk 1/2 mile down the road to a common driveway/trail on the left. It is marked clearly with the same chilly name as the street. Follow the trail up and over the boulders.

Make your way to the place where the air is colder and ice is sometimes found in July.

Standing directly in front of the inscription (facing 225 degrees), read about the generosity of David Dudley Field. Then turn around and face 90 degrees. Look for the three stony maidens with white faces.

Walk down the trail toward the maidens, about 30 paces (counting the steps of both feet) . Turn to the right and walk to the back of the tallest maiden, sitting more easterly than her sisters. She hides your prize at her feet.

After stamping, please rehide the box as well or better than you found it. And send us an e-mail to let us know you found it.
