Directions:

Locate Coginchaug Greenway on Strickland Road which connects east to Cherry Hill and West to Route 157. There is parking on the site on a concrete foundation where signage identifies the area as Middlefield Open Space.

Clues:

Make your way east on the mown path and turn right (there will be a house uphill in front of you), keeping the bluebird house and and bench above you on the left. As you near the bench above you (great view from up there, by-the-way), you will see a tree surrounded by a clump of bushes part way down the hill. Immediately in front of you to the right of the path is a similar tree with a clump of weeds and bushes beginning a line of scrub and Autumn Olive lining the path. Stop here to find Gavin's Farmer Tuthill or keep going along the brush line to the intersection of mown paths. Here you should find another tree/bush with rocks in front of it. The Strickland Field Mouse is hiding in the rocks. Thanks to Duc for picking out the hiding spot.

Please, carefully replace the heavish rock on top of the box so as not to crack the cover. Thanks so much!
