HINENI (HEE-NAY-NEE) INDIGO
-in memory of Donald and Cheryl Wood
Many hikers and letterboxers have come upon locations of such majesty and beauty, where they feel they have been in the presence of a Power greater than themselves. Some have heard their Creator call out to them in these places. Some have responded, "Hineni! Here I am!" and thus identified themselves as people who have a place in their lives for the sacred and the divine.
The Hineni Series of six letterboxes represents the colors that were mandated to be woven into the curtain which once hung in Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, separating the people from the Holy of Holies. This series celebrates people who in death have passed through this curtain, but in life walked daily with divine companionship. The six letterboxes are all hidden in locations of blessed peace and Nature at her finest.
Get to Main Street (RT 111 South) in Long Hill, Trumbull. At the green, in front of Luigi's Bakery, turn onto Whitney Avenue, and proceed carefully down the curving hill. Pass three yellow hiking and biking signs on the right, and one green "bike route" sign. And you will immediately turn right into a parking area and the trailhead for the RAILS TO TRAILS - PEQUONNOCK GATEWAY.
(This is an easy hike, which ends with just a little rocky climb and scramble. It should take you about 20 minutes to the letterbox site, 10 minutes to find the box and stamp in, and 20 minutes out.) As you walk the trail, any of the side trails to the left are worth investigating as they lead down to the river. About 7 minutes into the hike, you should come upon a flat slanted boulder on the left, followed by more wooden fence. Then, on your right, you will pass your first bench (Trumbull Rotary 2 mi.). About 15 minutes into the walk, start to notice that you are getting closer to the river on your left. 18 minutes, and you should notice that the trail on the left falls away and melts into a clearing dominated by a very large Tulip Tree. On the right is a very large jumble of very large boulders.(If you pass the house on the right, you have gone too far.)
STOP! On the right side of the trail, there is a large rotted tree, laying down and pointing up into the ledge. The HINENI INDIGO LETTERBOX is at the upper end of the tree under a flat stone.
