The Rock Climber Letterbox
Planted 3/28/03
By: Leader of the Pack, Pink Trotters, Cowboy and Cody
Rated: easy- med.
Adopted by Travel'n Turtle to keep it safe.
WARNING: Cliff area hold kids hands and leash dogs
Getting There: Rte 195 in Mansfield to the Historical Society in the old Town Hall building park in rear and enter the blue trail. Follow clues to these other great boxes, Bed Rug, Inherit the Earth and Vermont Quarter. Plane Spotter is back near the building. The trail wanders down through the woods after the bridge it turns right to go out to the fifty foot cliff and beautiful view. Like other boxes in the area you should do the same. Enjoy the view but keep the kids safe! Now to find the rock climber ……
The rock climber had come out the trail on a sunny spring day to practice his technique. Over his shoulder were the coils of ropes and around his waist a variety of Bolle clips were fastened. He carried a small pack with his gloves and picks and other tools of the sport. His water bottle swung freely on a strap and a small book on rock climbing sites was stuffed into the pocket of his brown climbing pants. The swish of his pants the only sound on the trail that day as he hiked. When he passed the cliff, he was startled by the passing of a large flock of turkeys trotting along. After their chance meeting he continued on soon realizing he had dropped his book. He went back to the trail to look and began at the overlook.
From the view continue on the trail that leads down and around the cliff to the right (cliff edge to left). When it starts to head downhill watch to your right for a huge horizontally cracked rock with a small tree growing out of it. Continue to the next trail marker then look down under the ledge to the right, right behind the tree under SPOR. That is where the Rock Climber dropped a piece of his equipment. Be sure to replace it well hidden as this is a busy trail for rock climbers and others alike.
