Waushacum Ponds Rail Trail
Gates Road, Sterling
clues-easy terrain-easy
Dedicated to all those letterboxers who left their lunch in the car because they didn't want to carry it and then somehow never made it back to the car until the end of a long day and kept wishing they would come to a build-your-own-burger stand in the woods.

From Rte 12 in downtown Sterling head south. When you come to Ms. Dee's Candies on the right, turn left down Gates Road. Parking is on the right and the trail is on the left.

There are no inkpads in these boxes so please bring your own. The first 6 boxes do not have logbooks, the only logbook is in the last box.

Okay let's get right to work building that burger. Enter the trail and see the granite bench on the right. Look up into the woods to the left of the bench and spot a pile of logs. Go around to the back of the logs and look on the right hand side to find the bottom bun.
Good start, back on the trail until you come to the Lucile Patrick bench. Notice the pile of logs just before it off the trail, look in the right hand corner for the burger.
Okay, keep going, soon you will come to the Ruth Kruczynski bench, have a seat and look across the path into the woods. Through the pines you will see a 2 trunked birch, walk to the back of that tree and behind it you'll find the cheese.
Continue along on the path, cross over the Big Dig bridge and after a short while you will spot a wrought iron bench down by the water. Walk down to it and look to the right for 2 tall oak trees close to each other. At the base of one of those trees hides the onion.
Back up on the trail to the next wrought iron bench. See the trail beyond it that curves along the shoreline? Well take that and walk along for a short while (hmmm, do you smell garlic??...oh, must be my imagination) until you come to a multi-trunk oak tree on the right hand side of the path. Look to the left and see a felled tree off the path. Walk up to it and look behind for the tomato.
Back to the shoreline trail and walk until you see a square granite marker on the left side of the trail. Immediately after that on the left spot three stumps in a line, step off the path and walk to the furthest stump and and find the lettuce.
Go back to the trail and walk about 65 steps. You will come to a stump on the right. Look to the left off the path for a log that hides...you guessed it...the top bun. Please stamp into the logbook and tell me if your burger was all-beef, chicken, turkey, veggie or soy. Thanks and enjoy!
