The Silver Compass
Start in the parking lot where the old Coventry Job Lot used to be (for those of you who don't give directions the Rhode Island way of using landmarks that aren't there any more, it's right after 766 Washington Street - a doctor's office UPDATE:the doctor's office is closed now & planet fitness is in the old job lot building.). You may want to bring bug spray. We did this on our bikes, but it shouldn't take that long on foot.
Park in the back right corner of the parking lot. To the right you will see 6 large boulders - and beyond them a path. Follow the path to the bike path (where the train tracks used to run). Turn left. You should see a phone pole with a "no hunting" sign on your right. Soon you will see another phone pole on your right. A short distance after that is the path you want to take. There is another "no hunting" sign affixed to a tree at the entrance.
Soon you will come upon fork - stay to the right (there will be a giant boulder to your left). The path winds around a tree, under a fallen tree, through 2 v trees and between 2 sink holes. Keep going and you will eventually come to a left hairpin turn (you should see a grouping of small boulders) - take the left. You will eventually be able to see water on your right (through the trees). Soon you will come across a tree with an odd growth on the left. Then you will pass a 3 trunk tree on your right. Now you are close.
Straight ahead the path will run into a rock wall. Go over the dip in the wall and face right. Take approximately 25 paces, with the wall to your right. You should see a stump on the opposite side of the wall. Take 5 more paces. At the base of the wall, hidden under a small log & a stone is the Silver Compass. Please re hide carefully - it is kind of a big box. Retrace your steps to get back.
