Horton hatched an egg
Then, he heard a who
Someone must find him
Could it be you?
Bring your own ink pad and pen.
DIRECTIONS to starting location:
From the intersection of Breckwood Blvd. and Wilbraham Rd., drive north on Breckwood Blvd. At the first light, turn right.
The parking area for Breckwood Pond/Lake is on your right.
CLUE:
Danger, Danger!
The ice might be thin.
Under the warning
Is where you begin.
At 372*
a table is set
From there find the bench (146*)
(Too far . . . you’ll get wet)
The multi-trunked tree
Is at 40-degrees*
Stand under the limbs,
If you please
At 153*
A concrete post stands tall
Walk east along the treeline
And hear Horton call
He’s louder now
You’re getting close
Straight ahead
Between two wooden posts
Take steps past the posts
Count them “1-2”
Now turn around
and look behind you
Posts run to your right
Straight in a line
Assign each a letter
And you will do fine
The first is “H”
The second is “O”
Spell out H-O-R-T-O-N
To the “N” you must go
Look inside the post
Hold onto your sox
