ADOPTED LETTERBOX
Originally planted by our good friends the NeeDeeps, adopted by us (WWW) on 7-5-08. We will try to keep the clues, stamp, and box location as original as possible while still keeping everything maintained and up to date.

Directions: From RT.6 turn onto Potter road. This will be the entrance to Goodwin State Forest in Hampton CT. Follow the road a little ways and you will come to 11th Section road which is a right turn. Travel down 11th Section road 1.3 miles where the road turns sharply and there is a sign that says Esterbrook RD. Take a left here onto a unmarked road, Travel down .3 mile and you will see a pull off area on the right, park there.
You will also see trails on both sides of the road, cross the road and take the White blazed trail left of a dirt road.( Don't forget the clues for Black Spruce Pond and The Forgotten Wood Pile and James L Goodwin State Forest Box). Enter the trail and follow the white blazes for a while until you come to a T in the trail. Take a right here and continue on you will come to a intersection, take a right here onto the Blue blazed trail. (Do not go straight across follow the blue trail on the right.) Follow the trail down to the pond and you will see a Dam on your left, cross over and follow the trail up a little hill their will be two trails to choose, stay with the blue and follow around the pond. Once you round the pond the trail will start getting rocky. The rocky trail will get better as you go up a small hill, at the top on your left is a pile of rocks that look like a fire place. Keep going a little more and the trail will get rocky again, and then the rocks are gone. Twisting and turning with the blue you will soon come to a T. Go right onto a wider trail and soon you will come to a intersection with a dirt road, turn right here and follow the dirt road. You will go up a small hill, when you almost get to the top, you will see a rock ledge sticking out of the banking on your left with a oak tree that splits into two sisters just before it. Behind that is a stone wall, Behind that wall under some flat rocks is the Sucker Fish Letterbox. From here you can continue on this dirt road and it will bring you back to your car. A sucker fish is usually a type of carp fish that feeds off the bottom of the pond. They spend a lot of time swimming around this pond for nothing. Thats why they call them Suckers.
