This series started as 3 individual boxes sent to the Mansfield Monster Mash. While the boxes were still in CT, Tooth Fairy came up with the idea of expanding the series and making it a “Dark Side” series. So, here they are. In order to figure out the clues, you’re going to have to answer some questions about Harry Potter. You have read them right? If not, go ahead, it should only take you a week or so to read the series, then you’ll be ready to find these boxes.
WARNING: Pupp, Tooth Fairy, and I discovered the hard way that this trail does NOT loop back to the start. It comes out 5 miles from where you started. There are a few options you can take, reverse at the last box and go back the way you came, take two cars and park one at the Equestrian Trail head entrance, or walk back to the car 5 miles on the road.
A special thank you to Bookworm for her help with the clues!
