Rated: easy- med.



WARNING: Cliff area hold kids hands and leash dogs



Getting There: Rte 195 in Mansfield to the Historical Society in the old
Town Hall building park in rear and enter the blue trail. Follow clues to
these other great boxes, Bed Rugg
, Inherit the Earth
and Vermont Quarter
. Plane Spotter
is back near the building.
The trail wanders down through the woods after the bridge it turns right to
go out to the fifty foot cliff and beautiful view. Like other boxes in the
area you should do the same. Enjoy the view but keep the kids safe! Now to
find the rock climber ..

The rock climber had come out the trail on a sunny spring day to
practice his technique. Over his shoulder were the coils of ropes and
around his waist a variety of Bolle clips were fastened. He carried a small
pack with his gloves and picks and other tools of the sport. His water
bottle swung freely on a strap and a small book on rock climbing sites was
stuffed into the pocket of his brown climbing pants. The swish of his
pants the only sound on the trail that day as he hiked. When he passed the
cliff, he was startled by the passing of a large flock of turkeys trotting
along. After their chance meeting he continued on soon realizing he had
dropped his book. He went back to the trail to look and began at the
overlook.

From the view continue on the trail that leads down and around the
cliff . At the first double blue stop. While facing the double blue take a
reading of 20 degrees. That is where the Rock Climber dropped a piece of his
equipment. Be sure to replace it well hidden as this is a busy trail for
rock climbers and others alike.


Happy Boxing!
