Stopped by in July 2013, and both boxes were still there and in OK shape.
Directions,
Directions from Rte. 395
Take ext 84N ( Lisbon Landing Exit going towards McDonalds) This is River Road and Rte. 12 go N 0.8 miles and turn left on NEWENT RD [CT-138] - go 1.7 miles on CT-138 – Turn right on N BURNHAM RD [CT-169] - go 1.3miles and turn left on KIMBALL RD - go 1.6 miles and .KIMBALL RD becomes LISBON RD - go 2.0 miles and turn left on COREY RD - go 0.6 mile and turn right on WISNIEWSKI RD - go one tenth mile and park in area on left.
From rte 14 east, go past intersection of Rte 169 until you pass Martello's (Formerly New York Pizza) (Great Pizza) and go left (south) on LISBON RD for 2 miles until you get to COREY RD – go right for .06 miles and turn right on WISNIEWSKI RD - go .01 miles until you see a parking area on the left, park here.
From rte 14 west take Lisbon Rd. in Canterbury south for 2 miles until you see Corey Rd. Go right .06 miles and turn right on Wisniewski Rd. go .01 miles and park in the lot on the left.
CLUES,
Easy, one half mile hike on mostly flat terrain.
At the parking area there is a sign that says Kinne Preserve. Enter the trail between the white signs that say No Motor Vehicles Beyond This Point. Follow this trail up past two trees, each with a red X. When you come to an intersection, go straight. A while after the intersection, you will see a rock wall and a new house on your left. Continue on the trail. You will soon come to a sharp right turn around a rock. This will lead you away from the house. As you go further you will come upon a small standing rock near a lonely tree on the right. Go left immediately after. Follow this trail down a small incline to a semi-cleared area. This was a campsite for the Boy Scouts. Look to your right, there is a huge rock. Past that enormous rock, 90 feet off the trail, at a bearing of 300 degrees is a fallen tree. Here is where the Oak Leaf box lies.
Now continue on the trail. After a short period of time, you will see a fallen tree with a red mark on it. Right by this tree is another half fallen tree. Your second prize, the Paw Print Box is behind it. Be quiet as a house is nearby. To get back to your vehicle, stay on this trail. At the fork, go left. You will see an American Ginseng Tree on your right, directly before a grove of pine. The American Ginseng Tree was planted by the Boy scouts. Through this grove of pine is a T intersection. Go left to return back. Thanks for doing this letterbox!
For those of you who are interested, 41 degrees 40.672 N
072 degrees 00.575 W
Kinne Preserve is also at 375 feet above sea level.
