Directions and Clues
Bring your clues for The DEP Salmon River Box, Eagle Eyes, and Red Hat Letterbox, which can be found from the same starting point. Total time approximately 45 minutes.
In Marlborough, you’ll need to find where the Blackledge River crosses under Route 66. Near a yellow, round steel gate found down hill from the Eastern District Headquarters (you’ll see the Smokey Bear sign), there is a roadside pull-out. Park there and enter the woods by going past the gate. On the other side of the gate, you will see the Old Willimantic Turnpike, an old wood’s road from the colonial period. Head north on the old turnpike. Continue straight on this trail. You will see a few trails that veer to the left. Always stay on the main trail and never go left. You will be hiking for about 25 minutes until you see horses and a barn on your left. Shortly after you pass the barn, you will see the begining of a stone wall forming on your right. At the first break in the wall, there will be a large oak tree right next to the trail. From the east side of the tree, take a reading of 190 degrees and walk six steps in that direction to your prize under the slanted flat rock. Return the way you came to get back to your car.
September 25, 1952 – October 10, 2004
Christopher Reeve died October 10, 2004 of complications from an infection caused by a bedsore. He went into cardiac arrest, while at his Pond Ridge home, then fell into a comma and died Sunday at a hospital, surrounded by his family.
Reeve was the Nation’s most recognizable spokesman for spinal cord research. He had been paralyzed since his riding accident in 1995, but he vowed he would one day walk again. By 2000, Reeve was able to move his index finger, and a specialized workout regimen made his legs and arms stronger.
Christopher Reeve was most famous for his role as Superman even though he did have many other roles. He beat out over 200 actors for the role of Superman when he was virtually unknown.
