Father’s Day Hunt

Location: J.B. Williams Park Named for James Baker Williams, founder of JB Williams Soap Company, J. B. Williams Park is located on Neipsic Road in Glastonbury, Connecticut, just off Route 2. It is a popular park for hiking, softball, fishing, ice-skating, and cross-country skiing.

You should enter the main parking area and go to the sign labeling all the trails by the entrance. Take the Red Service Road Trail that is 7/8ths of a mile long. The trail is easy for families with young children. It is wide and easy to follow despite not being blazed. The total hike is about 2.1 miles.

Go straight on the trail to begin your search.

Box 1 Time
Something all Dads give. Your son wrote, “Thank you for spending time with me playing catch, flying helicopters and lots of other stuff” special for this box.
To find walk a ways in looking towards the left side of the trail for the steel gray birch tress with a lone heart carved into it. Search around the base of the right tree and you will have box 1.

Box 2 The Great Outdoors
For our dad who camps in rain or snow the great scout.
Keep on the trail until you reach a set of stairs. Travel down the stairs and across the foot bridges. Look to your left for the bare tree. Once you found the bare tree, search at the base of a tree to the left, and you will find box two.

Box 3 Silly Dad!
Dads can be silly and goofy as your son wrote, “We like it when you are goofy like a monkey because it makes us laugh. It also puts me in a good mood”.

Go back up on the trail and walk until you see a small trail on your right that lead to the upper pond and field. Now look for the shelter built in 2010 as an eagle project. Search by the foundation pillars and you will fine box 3.

Box 4 Smile
Dads make us smile in special ways. They take care of our hurts and our proud of our efforts.
Return to the trail until you come to a clearing on your left that is used for camping. Walk up past the campfire site and look for the fallen tree. Search the tree and you will find box 4.

Box 5 Your Amazing Dad!
Go back to the trail and walk until you come to a small fork then take the wider path on the right. Walk until you reach a fence and then take a left. Follow the fence to the last brown pole. If the poles turn green, you have gone too far. Look to the left, and search at the base of one of the largest trees near the trail, and you will find box 5.

You are amazing !
