Hi there, Music Woman!

I was there about a month ago or so. It's a pretty
neat place. The box was in good shape too...
Happy trails!

When we did this, we parked roadside near the no parking sign. We took
it to mean you couldn't park in the field. We did miss it the first
time by, as it was not as far as we thought it'd be. The Gay City
trail seems to pass in a narrow corridor between two lots of private
land. Look in the blue book: The CT Walk Book for the map. It will
help a lot.

For the record, we did this with snow on the ground and it wasn't too
hard.
