Letterboxing Adventure
Around the Pond and through the Woods...
It you are starting from Providence or Hartford, take Route 6.
Goodwin State Forest is located in Hampton, Connecticut. There is a
sign on the highway that says `James L. Goodwin State Forest'. Turn
here onto Potter Road, a road lined with the state flower - Mountain
Laurel. As you drive down the road you will pass a sign on your right
that says `James L. Goodwin Conservation Center', and on your left a
backyard arboretum to enjoy before or after your adventure. On the
right you will come to a small parking lot, park here.
Across the street from the parking lot is a small gray house with a
sign above the door that says Nature Center. Sand on the stone steps
and locate the picnic pavilion. From the picnic pavilion take a
compass heading of 60 degrees and proceed 29 paces. You will now be
at a big brown gate. Follow the dirt path after it. As you follow the
path you will come close to the highway and then the pond. You will
see two small bridges, cross them. Now you are entering the woods.
Look around - you will see medium height pine trees and lots of
roots - don't trip. The trail stays near the water, watch out for
holes in the ground. Keep following the white trail. Don't he fooled -
stay near the water. Keep your eyes on the lake for duck houses and
beaver lodges. Soon you will encounter rocks covered with moss and
lichen. Stay focused your journey is only beginning.
Stop and find where the beavers have been busy. Walk up the slope and
enjoy the view of the pond. Find the only long needle pine tree near
the water. From there take a compass heading of 320 degrees and
continue to follow the white blazes in that direction. Immediately
you will cross a great landmark, an old dirt road (Cedar Swamp Road).
Continue on the white blazed trail. Be on the lookout for a huge,
blazed V shaped oak tree. From there take a compass heading of 74
degrees and continue on the trail. Hang in there you are almost to
letterbox 1. Soon you will spy the state flower (Mountain Laurel).
Continue on until you find two major tails that cross - X marks the
spot. (the trails)
