Do you still have room in your Fruit Basket? Try this trail that I explored as I placed a few more pieces.
Clues: (Revised 6/26/2008
Frandel Road is the first right off Arch Road in Avon from Rt. 167. Drive down Frandel until it makes a sharp turn to the right. There is a parking space straight ahead at the turn and an obvious trail leading into the woods. Park and follow the straight trail, ducking under or skirting a fallen tree. Shortly beyond this tree you should see a trail heading off to the left at 100 degrees. Take this trail and pass a triple tree to find a quad tree. Stop at the quad, turn to the right and take about 18 paces into the hemlock grove to a V tree with one dead member and a rotting stump behind. Between stump and tree for a pear. Please re-conceal carefully, being sure that box and baggies are sealed tightly.
Return to the trail and continue in the direction you were headed - SE - past another downed tree to an area of young pines. The trail may be difficult to follow here but if you go easterly (100 degrees), you should find the path into the evergreens. Cross the brooklet carefully and continue to the clearing. Notice the cemetery to the left. Continue following the tree line, keeping the trees to your right, and you will come to another smaller cemetery. This is an old Jewish cemetery. It’s not far and you might find it interesting. Explore all you want, but retrace your steps back across the clearing and back into the forest. At the rusty oil drum, take a reading of 180 degrees and about 20 paces to a tree with boards nailed on it. Look 320 degrees to a short spiky stump. Find a strawberry under sticks. Please re-cover completely.
Back to the trail and continue retracing your steps. The trail is unmarked but easily followed back to the trail you started out on. This time, turn left and continue down the straight and not-too-narrow path. Go up, then down an incline and find a 4 ft. fence post on the left(notice the wire attached) with a small finger pointing up the hill beside you. Go at 220 degrees about 25 paces toward the largest diameter tree with a dead log behind it. Look under the log for grapes. When re-concealing, please be sure that it is not visible from either side of the log. Return to the straight trail and go left to return to your car.
