Melts In Your Mouth is planted on the Nordic Ski Trail in Charlestown, NY (google maps address has it as Esperance) in Montgomery County.

Directions:

You can use google maps to find the pullover. It is between Fox St and Gorden Rd. on Rte 30A.

Or you can get to it the way I do:

Take I-88 West to Exit 24- Duanesburg. Take a left off the ramp. At the stop sign, turn right on to Rte 20. Go about 11 miles on Rte 20 to Rte 30A/Rte 162. Take a right onto Rte 30A/Rte 162. Go .8 mile and go right to stay on Rte 30A. The pullover is 3.7 miles on the right. This pullover has a big map and a kiosk.

**There is no ink in the boxes and the last one contains the logbook.

Clues:

Red
“Everything is under control.”

Sign in and start down the trail. Pass a pond on the left. You will come to the Lower Loop trail on the right. As you pass this trail, look to your left for a 6ish trunk tree. Red is hiding between the trunks.

Yellow
“Inside everyone there’s a nut.”

Continue straight on the trail and keep an eye out for a yellow disc trail marker about 6-7 feet high on the tree. Find the 2nd yellow disc on the RIGHT side of the trail. Go 7 more paces up the trail to a fallen white birch tree on the right. Follow it down 8 paces to another downed tree on its left. Look behind that tree’s base for Yellow.

Green
“I melt for no one.”

Continue down the trail. You will come to a trail on the right that has a yellow arrow pointing in the direction you came. From this arrow, go 10 paces straight down the trail you are on. Turn right and go 7 paces into the woods to a big rock. Green is tucked behind it.

Blue
“Never let ‘em see you melt.”

Go back to the arrow. From the arrow, go 32 paces back down the path towards your car to a saw dust pile in the woods on the right a few paces off the trail. Look for a downed tree behind the pile. Follow the tree back to its roots. Behind the roots are 2 rocks. Blue is between the rocks and the tree trunk.

Orange
“I’m a dead man.”

Continue down the trail toward your car. Pass the pond. At the fork in the trail, (one path to the yellow gate, one path to the trail register) look to the right back in the woods. Spot a rotting stump that looks like it exploded from the inside. In it's midst, under lots of bark and debris, will be Orange.

HOPE YOU ENJOYED OUR SERIES!
