These boxes are along the same trail that leads to the Nepaug State Forest box.

Description: The boxes are located along the Tunxis Trail in Nepaug State Forest. The entrance is off route 202 in New Hartford. Heading west, it’s past the reservoir. Heading east it’s after the Nepaug area. The entrance is on the north side of the road and there is a State Forest sign and a blue Tunxis Trail sign. Turn in this entrance and park at the first intersection.

Clues: Follow the blue Tunxis Trail up the hill. At the sandy intersection, go straight, up hill again. (This section may not be a good idea in a rain storm!) Before you reach the top you will pass a tree down on the right with its root crossing the trail. There are two biggish trees on the right just before the trail curves to the left and levels off a bit. Box #1, No April Showers Here (today was a gorgeous sunny April day with temps in the 70s and 80s), is in the broken off trunk of the first one you pass. (Bring some yellow ink if you can.)

Now keep going up. Follow blue down hill. Blue goes right but you go straight, up, right, down, over tree. Next tree on left is #2, Santa’s Parking Space.

Enjoy and don’t get lost.
