NANCY PANTSY HANKY PANKY
Placed in Madison, CT, affectionately, for Butterfly - by Bluebird, 1/13/06.
When you see the stamps, you will understand the series name.
These 2 boxes are hidden along a new trail in Madison, CT. The walk is a short “lollipop,” with an initial straight portion, a loop, and return on the “stick.” This is another portion of the Neck River Uplands, purchased in 2002 by the Madison Land Conservation Trust from the water company for more than one million dollars! Enjoy the river, rocks and woods! The hike should take about a half hour, for about a one mile walk.
Directions: Go .2 miles north on Route 79 from the Route 79/Route 80 circle in North Madison, taking the first left which is Princess Drive. Go only .1 mile down the road; when you see a rocky ledge on your left, turn around and park alongside it (best parking I found near the trail). Take a few steps east, back toward Route 79 and you will spot the blue trail markings on your right.
Note: there are many intersecting trails in here (other boxes to find, too!) all blazed in blue. Heading north, parallel to the river, will always bring you home!
Head down the trail, which follows the “river.” Pass one trail branch which heads off to the right. When you see the first place where the trail goes left and across the “river,” cross over and head up hill to the top of the ridge. You will enter a laurel-filled area, staying to the right with the blue trail. Soon spot a ledge area on the left with a “bear head” boulder. A “Smarty Pants” like Butterfly will know the box is hidden nearby - who needs clues?! (hint for others: 'slanty' rock!)
Very close-by there is a Y; take it, bearing downhill and toward the right, to the river. Cross back over the water and head left, uphill. When you see a wall to your left, examine the close end, back side, about 4 steps in. If someone catches you boxing there, be a “Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire” and quickly make up an excuse like, “I am doing a study of rock walls on former Water Company Property and their implications for society!”
Back to the blue trail, head up to the right by the end of the wall. You will be “up” and the river will be down below. Keep to the right whenever you have a choice, and soon come to a T with “Joan's Trail.” Walk to the right, on a green carpet and keep to the right and head down when you can to the river-level. Head left when you reach the water, and take a short stroll back to your car.
P.S. Happy Birthday, Nancy!
