Easy 1/2 hour    from  Cock-A-Doodle-Moo 4-H to you
 
planted Feb.11,2001
 
Lions Club Fields ( soccer )
 
Take Rte 195 to Rte 89 at Mansfield Center, Pass the library, the school and over the dike the road to the field is on the left. ( also road to dump) .
 
Margaret Wise Brown wrote Goodnight Moon and thousands of children have dropped off to sleep hearing her comforting words.
    " In the great green room   there was a telephone    and a  red balloon 
and a picture  of -    the cow jumping over the moon......."
 
Drive in to the Y bear right it is a dirt road that takes you to the playing fields. near the gate find a place to park.
 
When facing the gate take a bearing of 320 degrees head off in that direction.
 
The lane is clear with soccer field to the side and a row of unearthed boulders keeping vehicles off the grass. There is one bend in the boulder lane then look for a small tree marked " Boundry Line" . 
 
Stand in the lane between the boundry marker and a line of vision to the service building way across the fields. Turn your back on the building and take a bearing of 200degrees.
 
Along this line spy a woodpeckers delight, walk to the peckerwood . When we arrived here Gemma the dog barked and barked!
 
Stamp privately and rehide, hope you enjoyed this walk, and the story .
 
" Good night Moon, ....Good night Stars    goodnight  air   goodnight noises  everywhere."
