To those who would answer the summons of King Arthur!
To begin your adventure, find your best way to Route 10 (South Main St) in Cheshire, CT. Turn west onto Higgins Rd (left if from south, right if from north). At end of Higgins, turn left onto Mountain Rd. Follow for 0.4 miles then right onto Roaring Brook Rd. Follow the road to the right and to the end to park.
If using map #57 in the Connecticut Walk Book, then note you are approaching from the EAST side of the ridge.
Difficulty: STEEP, not any real scrambles, just very up hill.
Time: about 1.5 hours
Distance: probably just about a mile round trip
Follow the Orange Trail -- making a left off the dirt road -- and follow to the falls. You may choose the "steep" or "less steep" way from here, but note that "less steep" is still steep and it is a little longer. The scenery is much nicer on the steeper trail.
As you ascend along the brook gorge, peek down occasionally and you will see a lovely pool which invites you to wade on hot days. As you reach the top and find the second, smaller cascade, the Blue-blazed Quinnipiac Trail crosses in front of you. Follow the Quinnie Trail to the left, southerly. Watch those blazes or you could find yourself looping back on the "less steep" orange trail.
Follow for a ways, until you reach a short levelish area, followed by an uphill rocky spot. Looking back over your shoulder, you will see the Black Dog's mountain, with its unfortunate electronic debris.
Just before stepping though the gate formed by 2 (or 3?) trees, notice a boulder down 10°. The Round Table makes its home under the end, about 8 steps off the trail.
Carefully seal and stash to keep the secret protected from the elements and/or those uneducated wretches who may think us "litterboxers."
Bruce initially tried making a woodcut for this stamp, but it didn't print very well (still cursing using oak instead of maple). He made another of carving medium and glued it to the back of the original attempt so that you can see both.
