Watchful’s Camping Supplies


Directions:

From I 91 S take Exit 20. At the end of the exit turn left and left again at the stop sign onto Country Club Road. At Moody School on the left, take a right onto Higby Road. The John Tynan Park is on the right. From I 91 N, take Exit 20 and turn right onto Country Club Road. Take a right onto Higby Road at Moody School (on left) and then take a right when you reach the park. From Route 66 E or W, turn onto Higby Road at the Red Dog Saloon. The park will be on your left.

Clues:


Watchful is camped out near the ridgeline where the blue trail turns left toward Mt. Higby. She needed some camping supplies to help her through the long days of checking out the dogs below. To find her supplies, you will have to follow red/blue and then blue all the way up to what seems like the end of the trail at the edge of the mountain. At this point you will turn right and follow the unmarked ridge trail onto what was once the “old” Blue Trail leading to water company property. You will soon notice a hillock on you right where you can stop to check on Watchful. To get to her camping supplies, you will continue on this trail. As you are about to step over a rotted, fallen tree crossing your path, you will notice that this tree has interestingly green colored heartwood. Before you, the trail goes downhill and the area is littered with blow downs. At the “wave end” of the tree, Watchful’s camping supplies are hidden.

Additional Info:

If you “spot” cars at Tynan and Guida’s on Route 66, you can enjoy a very fulfilling boxing day. Something priceless, a domestic dispute and a challenger are not too far away. Many more boxes are waiting for you on the decent to Route 66 (there will be some “ups”), but be mindful! That part of the trail crosses dangerous ledges. This entire area is also Copperhead territory.
