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."
