Bring the clues to Disney Villain #1: Ursula with you.

From Route 2 West, take exit 10 and turn left onto Manchester Road and follow directions below.
From Route 2 East, take exit 10 and turn right onto Manchester Road, and follow directions below.

At the stop sign, go left onto weN nodnoL Tpke. Bear right, staying on weN nodnoL Tpke. At your next stop sign, turn right onto yrtnuoC bulC Road. Just before the top of the hill, turn left onto ttoM lliH Road. Stay on ttoM lliH, and it will turn to dirt and become leD seveeR Road. Go past a large painted rock (usually has graffiti on it, but now painted grey) and park on the left, just past a green gate near the pond.

From the parking area, Calvin and Hobbes decided to go exploring! There were two ways to get to where they were going. They could go back to the green gate and take the woods road, OR take the trail towards the pond and go left over the berm (the berm walk is MUCH prettier!). Calvin decided to take the prettier walk over the berm. When they arrived at a make shift cul de sac, they continued on straight up the hill. (There will be a couple of places here that look like small intersections with other trails). When they arrived at a major fork in the trail, Hobbes wanted to go right, but Calvin intervened and they went left. They continued uphill and at the next intersection went left again (be mindful of this intersection!). The hill continued to go uphill and Hobbes was worried that they were going in the wrong direction. However, Calvin was sure that the trail will level out and become flat for the rest of the journey! The friends continued on, finding many other friends in the woods to say "HI" to. After a while, Calvin thought that this woods walk was getting boring. Hobbes agreed and sat on the small 1 foot tall mossy rock on the left side of the trail. He was almost ready to head back down the hill, but Calvin pushed them on a little further. When they found a large boulder just off the left hand side of the trail, Calvin thought it looked like an alien space ship! Hobbes just thought it looked like a rock.
Calvin and Hobbes decided to play hide and seek near the rock. After many rounds of hide and seek, they decided to hide under the low boulder/ledge that holds up a two-trunk birch.

Once they had their fill of hide and seek, they walked back the way they came, keeping mindful of the right hand turn that they would need to take in order to get back to their car. However, they decided to take the left trail instead of the trail that they came in on. It paralleled the other trail downhill (staying right when a trail came in from the right), until it met up with the first trail near their villain foe. They turned left here and continued downhill, over the berm near the pond, and then right on the small trail back to their car.
