The Goonies Love Their Pizza!
Thank you, Freshway Pizza in Worcester and Golden Pizza in Grafton. You have been good to us over the years.

Moore State Park in Paxton
Time: About an hour to find all + stamping time
Path: Easy to Moderate, some uphill and downhill climbing. Rocky in many areas. Wear good shoes. This is a great adventure for Families, but young children may get tired.

From Worcester: Rte 122 west to Paxton Center. From here,
take Rte. 31 south. The main entrance to the park is on the right about a mile or so from Paxton Center. PASS THIS entrance. Follow Rt31 down about a half mile to the next right, Black Hill Rd. This is a one way street. Take this right keep driving until you see a stone bridge. Do not drive over the bridge, park your car on the right side just before the bridge.
IMPORTANT: BOX 8 is MISSING. WILL BE REPLACED IN THE SPRING
Walk over the bridge and take a right up the rocky path (Be careful! There are some nasty roots here.) The river will be on your right. At top you will come to an intersection with a paved walkway. Cross over the paved walkway and follow the path up through the break in the rock wall. You will come to a rock wall circle-ish-square (quite a cool looking area). Go to the northwest corner and stand in front of it. Look down to the right for a large reddish colored rock at knee/thigh height. Above that rock to the left, remove the smaller rock to find Box #1. Reseal and replace. The next few boxes are fairly close together. Take the path to the east out of the rock “circle-ish-square”. Walk around the corner and over the grass to the left (turning away from the mill). Walk past the faucet on your left. House will be on your right. Soon you will see two boulders on the right side. A tree with a gap in it is on the left. Look in the gap for Box #2. Keep strolling down the path/roadway taking note of the rock wall. Follow this roadway down to a large oak with a gap near the bottom. Look in the gap for Box #3. Back to the path .Now you need to look for the first tree with all the memories. It will be on your right. Stop here. Look for the rock wall at 12 degrees. Under a large flat stone is a cave that houses Box #4. Reseal and rehide well. As you continue down the roadway, you will come to a gate. Turn right and follow the rock wall around the horseshoe. Stop at the end of the horseshoe because you have to count steps. Take 27 steps down the rock wall. Here you will find Box #5. Reseal and replace. Now follow the path with a sign pointing to the Stairway Trail. This path twists and turns a ways. When you come to the rock wall, stop before crossing over. Turn to the left and walk down 14/15 steps to find Box #6, at about ankle-calf height. Cross over the rock wall by the sign for Brigham Rd. Head down the stairs. At the intersection, take a right. This path will take you by a huge rock ledge. Pass this one and look for the second really rocky area. You will come to an intersection. Take the path to the right up near the rock ledge. Look for the tree that the is being “leaned” on by the rocks. In the base of that tree is Box #7, tucked up in the hole to the left. Back down to the main path and keep walking in the direction you were, towards the pond. Look for the tree on the left with the blue blaze. Stop here, look to the right for the three trunk oak, right near the boulder. The Box #8 is hidden over there. Rehide well! You are almost done. Back to path. Take 15 steps further down the path. You will come to a double oak. Turn left and take 25 steps into the woods to the large boulder. Look in the crack on the right side of this rock to find Box #9.
