Originally planted on 6/30/2001 by: J. Loether and E. Bagdonas
Formerly maintained by: Seekyr, Blaze, and Mobius
Currently (as of 12/5/2012) maintained by: Rocklun
Approximate trip time: 20 minutes plus stamping time (stroll)
Clue difficulty: Moderate (simple puzzle)
Hike difficulty: Easy/Moderate
"WITS QUACKERS"
Scramble around A TWO TAD QUACK
Known as the "hill of many springs",
Where frogs croak and the wild bird sings;
Use your wits going in and back!
HELP C DOWN in there, to the edge,
Take a drink and a little snack;
Trail winds gently down from the ledge,
Journey’s end at an end wall crack.
From sign, follow rough cart road around curves and up hill to large boulder and a double yellow trail blaze on white birch (one on either side of tree). Turn right between boulder and birch into the woods onto a faint trail. Follow narrow trail along top of ledge, past big double oak, over stony culvert, past blaze on double oak above white birches. Follow bend in trail down hill to right, past double oak on left to triple oak below.
Notes and hints added by Rocklun:
I haven't changed the original clues listed above. Just don't expect all of the clues to match today's reality--they don't! But the trail IS blazed, so keep following the blazes. If you reach the last blaze on this trail, you've gone a bit too far.
Also, look in the end of the stone wall behind the "triple oak below." Please don't tear the wall apart in your quest.
