These wonderful letter boxes have little historical bits of
information on the park and the waterfalls written on the front
inside cover of the book. To get the whole story and to complete the
poem find all five letter boxes with their fantastic stamps to help
tell the story. To get to Roaring Brook Park, take rt. 10 in
Cheshire to rt. 42. Go west on rt. 42 to Mountain Rd. Take a right
onto Mountain Rd. Go to Roaring Brook Rd. (Second left once on
Mountain Rd.) Follow Roaring Brook Rd. to gate. Small parking area
in on the right. Trail map is posted on sign at this area.

Clues:
Follow "road" on foot through the ponds before starting clues.
Box #1: Stand in front of the Roaring Brook Park blue sign. Walk ten
steps down the path. Look right. There is a pile of rocks to your
right. Look under the rocks.

Box #2: Continue up the path to the Orange Trail sign on the left.
Follow the trail past a large stone chimney on your left. Continue
on the trail over two bridges. Once over the second bridge look for
a big tree on the left. Look down at the base of the tree. There is
a stone wall. The box should be hidden at the base of the tree on
the left side.

Box # 3: Continue along the orange trail past Thomas P. Poll's
memorial stone. Climb the steep hill with a "staircase." At the
14th step, turn left. There should be a big tree to your left split
into a "V." Look in the "V."

Box # 4: Continue on up to the rest area at the "Big Falls." After
viewing the falls, the path takes a left up a small hill -- look for
the third tree on the right with rotting base. Look there.

Box # 5: Walk on up to the "campfire." Standing at the campfire,
head off 30 child's size paces in a 140 degree southeasterly
direction. Find the box tucked in a rock wall
