On a recent trip to Mexico, Joann from Waterford and Rubaduc were first finders of Chapuline's house box "Mexican Magic." It was a delightful wooden box full of stall bought mini stamps of ancient Mexican images. We could choose which one to stamp into our log books and since I'm the sister of Chapuline, I conned her into giving me one of these stamps to plant in my favorite preserve here in CT.
A charming three mile walk first along the water and then uphill along the ridge line. Good trail system. I had intended to start at the route 199 entrance to the Emily Griffin Beardsley Preserve but the parking lot was chained off today, not sure if that's a permanent thing or not.
To park your car, follow the directions to the Moose Horn boxes in Roxbury, walk the trail just after the sign board. At the first set of signs (with a bridge on the left) stay straight, at the second set of signs go straight on the red trail that says "to glen". At the next bridge go left where you'll now be on the blue trail, go right and follow along the brook for a bit. It's a nice flat walk
along here and you soon come to the backside of a sign board that lets you know you're in the Emily Griffin Beardsley Preserve, straight ahead is route 199 but you need to go left uphill following blue markers. After cresting the top you have a slight downhill, followed by several stonewalls and a brook to cross. Watch for the
stonewall with a stile, tis the one you want. Walk about 30 steps uphill along the wall to where it has a broken down portion, look right to a downed tree, look in the root end under bark. Cover well, please.
Continue on in the same direction you were going, ignore the sign to the glen, turn right after crossing the bridge and your car is close by. Thanks for the visit.
