The Light the Way Letterbox
So Sorry, this box had to be pulled, thank all who visited.

Planted Sept 24, 2001

LIGHT THE WAY letterbox has been planted in honor of the Labyrinth in Wallingford, Ct.
Walking a Labyrinth can be a metaphor on life,~ a joyful journey,~a spiritual experience, ~ and a lovely walk, each time different.
To walk the Labyrinth and find the letterbox use the directions to the Linear Trail posted with the Double Happiness clues. Please note, Double Happiness has been pulled, so find the Linear Trail in Wallingford on rt. 150 just as it passes over the Wilber Cross Highway [rt.15 ] There is plenty of parking as you enter the park and travel left and then to the back of the parking lot and the beginning of the Linear trail.
Follow the paved path east , soon the Labyrinth comes into view on your right. Continue on over a small bridge and pass a bench , then soon stop to read the plaque about the Emerson Leonard Wildlife Sanctuary .As the trail curves this way and that, several small trails spin off on your right. Stay with the main trail until you notice both a split rail fence on your right and a sling-shot-tree just behind the fence . At the end of the fence, take the trail into the woods at 120 degrees. Travel on this trail through the woods and rushes, coming to a sort of dike/berm. Climb to the top and continue walking left. When the trail forms a 'Y' , take the right trail. In a short while a hugh oak tree seems to be growing in the middle of the trail, as you get close to it, notice a lovely moss 'garden' on both sides of the trail. At the moss garden, stop and take a reading of 240 degrees to where a lone cedar grows. Go to that cedar tree and face back at the trail. The letterbox is low in the moss bank at 80 degrees. Here you will find LIGHT the WAY letterbox.
Continue on the trail to arrive back on that main trail close to Double Happiness. If you turn right, the Quinnipiac River is worth a short walk. To return to the Labyrinth and your car, walk west on the paved trail.
