This is a continuation of "There Was An Old Lady" by Flutterby. Please be sure to bring both sets of clues.
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
Who wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
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 dog,
What a hog! To swallow a dog.
(Go over a rock bridge and uphill and then around a bend. Shortly see a mossy V tree on left with a slab of rock in front. Look in the cave of rocks to the left of the tree.)
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don’t know why she swallowed a fly
Perhaps she’ll die.
There was an old woman who swallowed a goat,
Just opened her throat to swallow a goat!
(Stay on main trail ignoring all other trails. Over another rock bridge, look right for a CT “Alp”. Look under where fallen log meets pointed rock right near the stream.)
She swallowed the goat to catch the dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat.
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird.
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
That wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
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 cow,
I don’t know how she swallowed a cow.
(Go back over the bridge and right there take a right onto a white blazed trail. There is a trail sign nearby as well. Go over a wall. Look for more huge rock on left. Find a 5-sister on left and in a few steps more, see a small beech. Look in the crevice to the left of the beech.)

There was an old woman who swallowed a horse…..
(Go over yet another stream, through large pine area, up and down wiggling along the wall. After a zigzag and as it levels off near two fallen trees on right, look 10 degrees to huge tree. At the base to the right, find the box.)
……She’s dead, of course!!!
(Staying on main trail go uphill past standing erratics. Continue uphill through logs cut for trail in a cedar grove climbing up and over rocks until you are on slick rock. Bear left. Find two trail signs. Stand at the second one and take 6 steps right ending on rock. Step off and take 5 steps left. Check under overhang.)
(Step back onto the ledge facing the way you approached it. Follow that downhill trail going over a stream and a wall. At T, go right on main trail back to your car.)
