   Rte 195 in Mansfield Center  to Clovermill Rd. Follow to  the small parking lot on the right. Take the road runner to the  immediate clearing. Head east to the lonbe  Maple. Take North trail pass along edge then thru small meadow.  Note grapes and apples. Up  a rise to the woods an old foundation lies. now due south to road. Careful, turn 120 degrees  follow at 52 paces turn 220 degrees. Cross carefully.
     Next to Aunt Jemima's grove from 6 on right go down no trail, keep the road on your right. At waters edge due south on trail ( could be wet) . away from the dam onto  ski trail. Now as the sun rises you go. Is the road on your left? 
    4 planks to cross step softly now..... 
A farmer bent a  weary back to stack and stack, pass on through.
 
Huff and Puff  to the crossroad Heritage and Barrows, S.W. 240 degrees
I think I can , I think I can.....  1-2-3-4  stacked on the forest floor. 
Due west now a little more , two hurdles, a table rock serving moss
3 in a row Tic  Tac  Toe  ,    Are you stumped? 
Be secretive this is a popular trail  let no one see your woodland mail!
 
I wasn't seen , though voices I heard, so  I planted the box  and continued like this.....   Return to 1-2-3-4,  head up the trail at 22 degrees Barrows continue to the Y  then From here it's Barrows and Nipmuck with Blue dots to follow  check it at 320 degrees NW.   Pass the rocky and  the bridge ( bridge in dis repair we hope to fix by 11/00)  over the wall stay with the dots. Hear the cars your almost done .
  Cross the road carefully, down the right to return to your car.

Carolyn, you go! What wonderful clues you are writing! We're hoping
to get up with the children this weekend to search out one or two of
your rapidly growing collection. Wow!
