This box makes a great companion to Rubaduc's Piece Pipe series. :) You will be following the same trail, so bring both sets of clues. :)

Take exit 6 off Route 9. Head west on Route 148 about a mile and a half. Just past the Cedar lake beach area take a right (there’ll be a sign for Pattaconk and Cedar lake boat access) go past a small cemetery and follow this road about a mile past Cedar lake and into the State Forest. Turn left at the “Pattaconk” entry and boat ramp sign. Go past the small beach area and park in the lot up the hill (on the right).

From the parking lot go to the west end and up the stone steps, turning right onto the blue trail. Soon you come to an intersection of the blue with red dot trail, stay on blue going uphill. You’ll cross several streams, coming to one with a log bridge. This is followed by another good uphill, eventually coming to a spot where you must walk between two rock outcroppings.

Continue on, still on the blue trail, going through a nice stone wall. After you step through, turn right and walk to the next break in the wall. Walk one step beyond the break and look low. You only need to remove one flat, easily-moved stone in order to access the box.

Please rehide well!

I know that there are at least two other Lorax stamps in Connecticut! I carved this guy for an Earth Day LTC. I didn't want him languishing in a drawer, and his message is important enough that I think we have room for a few Loraxes. :)

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot...
