THIS IS MY WIFE’S FIRST WINTER IN CONNECTICUT SO WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN TO MAKE A WINTER SERIES.
MAKE YOUR WAY TO WHITEHALL PRESERVE IN LEDYARD ON SHEWVILLE ROAD. THIS PRESERVE HAS A VERY SMALL PARKING LOT.
ONCE YOU ARE THERE VIEW THE MAPBOARD. START ON THE TRAIL. AFTER PASSING THROUGH THE BRIDGE YOU WILL SOON SEE A TRAIL ON YOUR LEFT. TAKE THIS TRAIL. YOU WILL NOW SEE A POND ON YOUR RIGHT. WHEN THE TRAIL TURNS RIGHT, YOU WILL IMEDIATELY SEE A ROCK FORMATION NEXT TO A CEDAR TREE. LOOK LOW IN THE ROCK TO FIND BOX# 1 BRRR.
AFTER STAMPING IN, CONTINUE ON THE MAIN TRAIL. THE TRAIL ELEVATES A LITTLE NOW. SHORTLY YOU WILL COME TO A SIDE TRAIL ON YOUR LEFT. TAKE THIS TRAIL BETWEEN THE CEDAR TREES. SHORTLY, YOU WILL SEE THRONE ROCK ON YOUR LEFT. BOX # 2 “THE PENGUIN” SETS BESIDE THE THRONE.
AFTER STAMPING IN, CONTINUE ON THE MAIN TRAIL. FOLLOW THE TRAIL UPHILL. WHEN YOU GET HALFWAY UP THE HILL, LOOK TO THE LEFT TO SEE A VERY LARGE ROCK FORMATION. BOX # 3 “SNOW MUCH FUN” LIES ON THE LEFT LOWER CORNER.
AFTER STAMPING IN, CONTINUE ON THE MAIN TRAIL GOING UPHILL. WHEN YOU COME TO A Y. GO RIGHT ON THE Y. IMMEDIATELY YOU WILL SEE A THREE SISTER TREE COMING OUT OF A ROCK FORMATION. BOX # 4 “WINTER COAT” LIES BEHIND THE TREE UNDER THE SLATE.
AFTER STAMPING IN, CONTINUE ON THE MAIN TRAIL. WHEN YOU GET TO THE TOP YOU WILL SEE A METAL GATE AND TO YOUR LEFT YOU WILL SEEA FOUR SISTER TREE ON TOP OF A ROCK FORMATION. YOU WILL FIND BOX # 5 “MITTENS” ON THE RIGHT SIDE WHERE THE ROCK FORMATION MEETS THE ROOTS.
AFTER STAMPING IN, CONTINUE ON THE MAIN TRAIL TO THE SENICOVERLOOK ON THE RIGHT SIDE. WHILE ENJOYING THE OVERLOOK, LOOK TO THE RIGHT AND YOU WILL NOTICE A HOLLOW TREE WITH A BOULDER IN FRONT OF IT. BOX # 6 “SNOW GLOBE” LIES IN THE BELLY OF THE TREE.
AFTER STAMPING IN, GO BACK THE WAY YOU CAME. AFTER PASSING BY A FIMILAR 4 SISTER TREE AND ROCK FORMATION YOU WILL SEE A TRAIL ON THE RIGHT. FOLLOW THIS TRAIL. IF YOU SHORTLY SEE A WHITE SIGN THAT SAYS “TOWN OF LEDYARD CONSERVATION AREA” WITH AN ARROW BELOW IT WITH A BARBWIRE FENCE ON YOUR RIGHT, YOU KNOW YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT TRAIL. SOON YOU COME TO ANOTHER WHITE SIGN WITH A ROCK FORMATION BELOW IT. BOX # 7 LIES ON THE LOWER RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROCK FORMATION.
AFTER STAMPING IN, CONTINUE ON THE TRAIL. THIS TRAIL GOES UPHILL AND THEN OPENS UP INTO A FIELD. WHILE STANDING AT THE TOP LOOKING ACROSS THE FIELD, YOU WILL NOTICE A VERY LARGE BOULDER ON YOUR RIGHT. YOU WILL FIND BOX # 8 BESIDE THIS BOULDER IN THE ROCKS.
AFTER STAMPING IN, CONTINUE ON THE TRAIL THROUGH THE FIELD. THEN THE TRAIL TURNS LEFT GOING OUT OF THE FIELD. SOON, YOU WILL SEE ROCK FORMATIONS ON BOTH SIDES OF YOU. GO TO THE LAST ROCK FORMATION ON YOUR LEFT. GO TO THE EDGE AND SEE TWO CEDAR TREES GROWING OUT OF A ROCK FORMATION. THERE YOU WILL FIND BOX # 9 “WINTER WONDERLAND”. LOOKING ACROSS THE VIEW IN THE WINTER/FALL, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE FOXWOODS CASINO AND LANTERN HILL.
TO RETURN TO THE PARKING LOT, CONTINUE ON THE TRAIL GOING DOWNHILL. WHEN YOU COME TO A T, GO RIGHT ON THIS TRAIL AND IT WILL CARRY YOU TO THE PARKING LOT. HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYS THIS SERIES.
