~Located at Champlain Farm South at the end of Meetinghouse Lane.

**Be sure to do these with "...She's Dead, Of course"**

Park at the end of the cul-de-sac. Enter at the trail board.


There are no markers/ink pads in the boxes, but for the most part, black will do nicely.


** Colors of trails on the board do not seem to match colors (when there are
any) of blazes on the trails. Please go by the clues instead of the map.**


There was an old woman.


(Continue straight in and pass by the trail on the right and one on the
left. Immediately on the right, see several large rocks. Look in back of the
one to the far left.)



. who swallowed a fly.



(Nine paces along note stumps of a triple laurel on the left. Look in back.)



I don't know why she swallowed a fly,

Perhaps she'll die.



There was an old woman who swallowed a spider

That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,



(Walk along for a spell and over a rock carpet and shortly find a mostly dead large cedar behind a
large rock on the left. Look behind the cedar.)



She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,

I don't know why she swallowed the fly,

Perhaps she'll die.



There was an old woman who swallowed a bird,

How absurd! to swallow a bird,



(At the next intersection, go left uphill to big (mostly dead) pine.
Take a reading of 220. Go behind wall under the slab. Return downhill to the main trail you turned left off of and continue along.)

There was an old woman who swallowed a cat,

Imagine that! To swallow a cat.


(At 4-way intersection with map board, continue straight. Pass the white with blue dot trail on right. Go gently downhill and come upon massive moss-covered rocks on left. Make sure you are at the bottom of the hill, with the water on your right for the correct spot. Look in the butt crack! This is across the trail from a five sister tree.)

From here you can start on the "She's Dead Of Course" clues by Sweet Pea.
