Here's another in our notable trees series. Sorry we're going back to
another historic (read "dead") tree, but hope to get to letterbox
some living big trees soon. These clues are also at our website at

----------Ledyard Oak-------------

Another dead tree, but oh, what a memory!

An easy, mostly level 1 miles for three letterboxes. Less than an
hour of walking. The trails are rather new and sometimes a bit rough,
and the blazes don't follow the usual conventions, but it's easy to
find your way around this short loop.

On Rte. 12 in Gales Ferry CT, take Long Cove Rd eastward. Follow it
1 miles to the end at Vinegar Hill Rd. Straight across you'll see
the entrance to the Nathan Lester House and the Ledyard Oak trails.
