The Elusive Unicorn - 446
Placed by: Belchertown Girl Scout Troop 446
Time: About 1.5 - 2 hours at a slow pace
Difficulty: Easy

The Ludlow Drinking Water Supply Reservoir is located on Route 21 in Ludlow, Massachusetts. There is a small parking lot to park in, if that is full, Reservoir St. is not far and you can park on one side of this side street. There is no picnicking allowed passed the gate.
Warning: The beginning of the trail is fairly wide and is blacktop for bikes. There is a lot of poison ivy on both sides of the trail. It is easy to avoid it, but thought you’d all like to be aware.

TO BEGIN: Park either in the parking lot or on Reservoir street. Walk around the blue gate. You will see a white mile marker that says 0. Follow the paved path. You will go by the outhouses around mile marker .5. ( this is the only facility so use it now if you need to.) You will next go by the fishing dock. Once you see the 2 mile marker go about 110 paces and bear left onto the dirt path. There will be a fork in the path immediately, go to the right on the dirt path and follow this. You will go by a stream that passes under the path. You will also see an old stone wall on the left following the path. Continue along the path, the trees are pretty dense on both sides of the trail. After a bit you will come to a big Maple tree with 3 blue dots painted on it. Turn left off the trail at the Maple tree, off to the left you will see another fairly new trail and a stone wall, (the stone wall should be on your right. Once turning left there is another Maple tree on the corner; from that Maple tree go in about 12 paces and look into the crevices along the wall and you may find our letterbox. The stamp inside is the insignia for our troop crest – The Elusive Unicorn
Please notify CF1323@hotmail.com for any problems and updates of our letterbox. Thanks and enjoy your hunt.
