We had so much fun doing the ESAK letterboxes that we piggy backed
another onto the same trail:
Thrill Ride
A single letterbox piggy backed onto the three boxes planted by the
ESAK family on the Tunxis Trail overlooking the Lake Compounce
amusement park in Southington, CT. For the clues to the Fish Head,
Marble Rock, and Jullian's Rock letterboxes, see:
www.letterboxing.org/ma/fishhead.htm
This is a very scenic (and steep) hike that will carry you up a
lovely streamside trail to terrific views. Figure 2 1/2 miles and 2
hours.
First, find the Fish Head and Marble Rock letterboxes per the ESAK
directions. After climbing to ESAK's first "sizable bald granite
summit with a log bench" and following the "narrow, twisting, easy
path," come to a T-intersection. Turn to 030 and walk to a
smooth-rocked, east-facing overlook with expansive views. Follow the
blue trail a short way downhill. On the right you'll see a knee high
chunk of stone with an overhanging lip on its' eastern face. There
are a couple of small white birch trees in the foreground. Walk
gently across the moss and find the Thrill Ride letterbox tucked into
the rocks' south-facing overhang.
Now return up to the T-intersection to find Jullian's Rock.

Hey Drew Clan, we're glad you liked our letterboxes. Coming from you,
it is an honor. We have found a few of yours too. You've given us a
great idea. There is so much great hiking up on this mountain that
maybe others may hide their letterboxes here too. Perhaps we
could "string" them together. I know we'll hide more ourselves and
we look forward to the "Thrill Ride"
Thanks again.
