~There is no ink in this box, but green, yellow and brown would do just fine.

Find your way to Library Road off of Lyme Street in Old Lyme.

Go to the end and park in the small area for the Champlain Farm trail head.

Start out on the white with green dot trail. Very soon you will see a massive rock ledge on your left. It is amazing.

Continue on through a stone wall. The trail bears right here.

Cross over a small waterway on a stone bridge.

Go up the hill and come to another waterway. Do not cross this one. Instead go right on the well worn trail and notice after you go around the bend that it is actually the white with green dot trail.

Follow this to an intersection with a perpendicular trail and turn left.

Go through a stone wall, still on the white with green dot trail.

In a short way you will come to an evergreen with a blaze on both sides. Stop here and look directly across from it. A "few" steps off trail will bring you to a special little cave. Look inside under rocks and leaves for the Thorny Beauty.

Retrace your steps back to your car after hiding well.
