The box is part of the Connecticut ABC Series and if you go to the Connecticut mystery page you can find the other 25 boxies. For this one, I suggest printing off a trail map at http://www.conservingtollandct.org/ before you start or pick up a trail map at the trailhead as some of the trails are not well marked. Also bring along the clues to the Ebenezer Tuttle Letterbox and America the Beautiful, Illinois which are in the same area.
Directions to Trailhead:
From the center of Tolland take CT 74 west to CT 30 North. Follow CT 30 North approximately 2 miles to Hunter Road on the right. Follow Hunter Road about 0.1 mile to Peter Green Road. Turn left onto Peter Green. Look for a break in the guard rail on the left about ½ mile down Peter Green and turn into the Campbell Peaceful Valley Conservation area.
Trail Directions:
Immediately past the trailhead you will cross a small stream and come to an intersection. Take the Yellow Trail on the left. Less than ¼ mile you will come to an intersection with the Blue Trail straight ahead. Follow the Blue Trail less than ¼ mile across a small dam to another intersection with the Red Trail. Follow the Red Trail to the left as it winds around the ridge on the right. Go through a gate and go straight ahead. The trail is not well marked here as the markers are far apart. The trail is very straight through a well cleared area. Stop at the park bench and enjoy the view.
From the left side of the bench sight about 20 degrees to a big oak 14 steps away. From the oak sight about 315 degrees to another gnarly big oak about 16 steps uphill. Watch out for the barbed wire on the ground as you go to the oak. In back of the oak is T is for Tolland and Tangram. If it’s not busy take the box back to the bench and try to solve the Tangram.
After you are finished and have re-hidden the box you can return the way you came or continue on the Red Trail which will turn and head steeply up the hill and join the Blue Trail which will take you back to the Yellow Trail and you car. Note, watch for the trail intersection by the bridge near your car, it’s easy to miss.
Please bring clues to Ebenezer Tuttle .
