Please do not go to get this box on October 8, 15, and 21st unless
you can get there before 2 PM. The Andover High Cross Country team
uses this area for their racing trail!

Where: Reservation Road
Parking: Parking is located inside the gate of West Parish Cemetary
or along the road, but its easier to park at West Parish.

To get to the trail:
Walk down Reservation Road for a very short distance. The entrance to
the trail will be on your left.

Easy terrain, boardwalks and a cut path through a slightly rolling
field.

Stamp: Handcarved.

CLUES:

Walk through the trailhead and onto the boardwalk, making sure to
check for frogs and other animals along the way.
Eventually, you will walk through a stone wall.
Continue through the marshy area.
You will come out into a field with some great views of foliage in
the fall.
Follow the beaten path through the field...do you see the next
boardwalk?
Check around the bottom step :)

PS Be very careful while putting the box back! It could slip out of
your arm's reach. I might go back and fix this part so that it is
anchored later, clues will be altered if needed.
