SOARING ABOVE the FALLS

High above the falls, the soaring hawk rests. Your quest to find him
may take you on a
most wonderful hike over ridge walks and spectacular rock formations.
Or : if you so
choose, a short hike over the falls and up to his resting spot.
He soars above the Matabesett Trail in the Seven Falls section.
To enjoy a great hike to find him , print off the Drew Clans clues for
Seven Falls
beginning in Hadlyme and park on Freeman road. It is a hike you will
remember.
If you choose to take the short route and then miss the Mattabesett
showing off its proud
trail, [and the other letterboxes planted by the Drew Clan ] then, park
on the Middletown
/Hadlyme boarder on Rte 154 aka old rt. 9A at the Road Side Park just
where the
beautiful Bible Brook cascades into the seven falls ,south of Freeman Road..
Either way, you will climb from the falls , now on the Blue Dot blaze .
Up , you go,
passing a glacier erratic on your right, then up up and the trail
twists to the right Just
before the power lines, stop. Look left, off trail for a large lumpy
boulder, larger than a
dishwasher. It is looking at you. The Soaring Hawk letterbox is resting
there. Look under
the smaller rock lying east of Lumpy
Stamp in and look up, you may see him soaring. If you have chosen the
wonderful Seven
Falls Hike of the Drew Clan, just continue on the blue dot trail , if
you chose to miss the
cliffs and take the short hike, just return down the trail to your car.
Have a wonderful day.
