Clues
One box high atop Box Mountain (how appropriate is that?) Three miles round trip. This is an official CT. blue trail hike and is listed in the CT. Walk Book.
From I-84 east, take exit 66, turn right to Tunnel Road, turn left onto Tunnel Rd. taking it to the end, turn left onto Lake St. Drive until you see Risley Pond on the left. Parking is at the far end by the blue gate.
The stamp was carved by Cody B Cleo.
After parking the car, walk towards the dam and just before you get there turn right at the yellow arrow on the rock leading down a set of steps. Crossing this today was no problem but last spring it was under water. Some of the blazes in the beginning will be yellow with a blue stripe through it but you soon see the blue trial going to the right with yellow going left. Go right on blue the whole way. You will cross one brook and then see the yellow with blue stripe going left, stay on blue and as the trail begins to climb it becomes dryer. The trail goes gradually up until you come to a left turn and the trees ahead of you have some dark blue paint on them, go left with the CT. blue and follow just below the ridge line. Looking right you might see a large boulder with a good set of "lips" on it. No box but I thought about it.
After a relatively flat walk and just before you start downhill, you'll walk over a rocky ledge on the trail with a cell tower to the right. Just after this point you come to a fork and the trail to the right is unmarked. Taking it will eventually lead into a meadow with the cell tower on the other side but just before you enter this meadow there's a four foot stump to the left of the trail. Face the stump and find a pile of logs (at the base of a spindly clump of Oak? trees) 15 steps off trail at 25 degrees. One of the logs has a "root" end on the other side of the clump, with a perfect letterbox hole. Gently remove the bark covering. Rehide well.
