In Coventry take Rte 31 from Rte 44 going south. turn onto South
River road. Follow as it wanders along the river past Hickory Ridge
Tree Farm and to the end and stop. Turn left and cross the river on
Seagraves road. Stop and pull off by a yellow gate at Truman's
meadow. Ths was once farmland and is now state owned field. It is
used by a model airplane club please don't disturb the runway or any
of their markings.
To find the boxes enter next to the yellow gate and followthe dirt
road down toward the meadow when the road bends to the right stay
with it. the river is now straight ahead down a little path. Go to
the river and enjoy the view. This is a great fishing spot. After
enjoying the river put your back to the are oak and take 28 paces (
count only left foot for paces)back the way you came. Then look left
your red bird is perched under a small crabapple tree. Please rehide
exactly so others may seek her spot. Now to find the Skungamaug River
box. From a frequency control board for planes take a compass bearing
of 280 degrees to a Cedar tree. Your river box is hidden here
hopefully above the flood plain. Stamp quietly and rehide exactly. If
you come here when the plane club is here some members know the cub
scouts were having a scavenger hunt here as I told them that. So you
could continue in that line by informing them you are checking on the
cubs hunt. For you Coventry Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts I hope you
enjoy these boxes! From Leader of the Pack with help from Lixo and
