A LETTERBOXER IS YOU!
3 boxes in the Arcadia Management area. Inspired by the "artwork" at this website. Fun game! Roughly 5-6 miles roundtrip? During hunting season please wear the required bright orange as this area is open to hunting during this time.
Stamps are to be placed on one page. We used a 3 x 5 book. The 5 being the vertical. Box 1 at top, Box 2 at bottom, Box 3 in middle. Leave around 2¾ " of space between the two for the third.
DIRECTIONS: As with most of our boxes, your trek begins by driving 6.1 miles west on Rt 165 from Rt 3 in RI. At the 6.1 mile point, look for the sign on the south side of the road. Roscoe M. Dexter Memorial Fish and Wildlife Area. You can park by the sign at the trailhead.
Begin by traveling 254º along the small dirt road. You will follow this trail about ½ mile until you come to a trail joining you at 154º. Follow this trail.
Follow the trail, on past a small, concrete post on the south side of trail with a weathered, green disk (survey marker?).
Past an area with many, strange, rocky cairns.
More walking until the next intersection. Take the way at 138º (Abysmal Pool).
Follow the trail a short ways to its termination.
From the Rock With A View, take 11 paces at 214º to find Box #1 in the lee of a smallish rock, under leaves and twigs....Please re-cover very well.
Retrace your steps back to the earlier intersection, this time, take the trail at 225º, up the hill.
At T go 149º, at Y go 189º, at the next T go 239º.
At the next T go 279º, down hill , past the ledges, then at next Y go 181º.
Follow this a ways, over rocky areas, a muddy stretch, up then eventually to another T where you will go 107º. PASS THRU A STONE WALL. Then pass 2 side trails, one at 90º, the 2nd at 337º. Onward to pass a third side trail at 98º which goes thru a stone wall. And finally, pass a fourth side trail at 70º which leads to a grassy area where you can explore some old foundations. Continue onward past these.
At the next Y, go 120º, thru a stone wall and then at the next intersection take 83º, on thru the stone wall, over a small wooden bridge, thru a
clearing, back into the woods, thru another area with a rocky landscape and mountain laurel. On to a 4 way intersection.
Here, take the unblazed trail at 78º. (Ignore a side trail to the north). Immediately spy the ledge at 64º. Check the base on the SE side of this ledge. Under a flat rock/leaves, you will find Box #2.
Back to the trail and continue on (124º)....Trail becomes overgrown somewhat at head level in places here..
At next intersection, please take 88º and follow for a bit.
After that bit, be on the look-out for a large fallen Tree behind a stone wall to the N/NE. The Tree seems to be reaching out to the sky? It must have been mighty
in its day.
Find the tree of 3 growing next to a small rock on the south side of this dead Tree. From this tree of 3, take 10 paces at 125º to a rock pile. Search this pile for Box #3.
Return to trail. (To take a look at an interesting ruin on the shore of the Pool, continue on the trail for approximately 200yds or so to its end. Who lived here? we wonder...)
From Box 3 or the ruin, retrace your steps back the way you came in on.
At the next intersection, go 324º, and follow for a little ways.....
You will come to a quadruple blazed twin tree. Take the trail that leads to 83º after this quadruple blazed tree.
At the T take the 333º and hike until a T where 58º is the way back to your car (or whatever you came in on).
Hope your hike was fun and the bugs were few.....problems? questions? praise? ire? found it? couldn't?.....let us know.
