This link will take you to a trail map: http://www.granbylandtrust.org/wbhp_map_web.pdf
If the link is not working, The trailhead is on Kettlepond Lane in Granby. This is a short trail, easy hike.
Troop 151 is a Cadette Girl Scout troop. The girls carved the stamps and hid the boxes. We would love to hear from anyone who finds them!
Follow the trail, start uphill and you will reach a rock wall on your right. There is a tree on the other side about where the trail curves to the left. Carefully hop or clamber to the other side, look amongst the rocks to the left of the tree (from this side.) Stamp in, leave us a note and rehide!
Continue on to the lookout point (find the other letterbox on the way, hidden by another), enjoy the view. Then continue for approximately 50 steps. There is another, smaller lookout. Turn your back to the view, take 39 steps (I thought it was 35 degrees by compass, but a recent finder said it was 235!) In a small clearing there is an fallen tree, roots are sticking out on the right. Look for our second letterbox there.
We were there in the fall, so if there is a lot of underbrush in other seasons, please keep an eye out for poison ivy!
