Title: THE 1870's RIDDLE
Planted by Irishtinker
The riddle was taken from the
autobiography "When I Was A Girl In The Martin Box" by O.P.
Phelps
Time: After you solve the riddle about
15 to 20 minutes
Proceed to the main entrance of the
Natchaug Forest which has a brown wooden sign and is on the east side of
route 198 in Eastford, 5 miles past the intersection of routes 198 and 6 in
Chaplin and 3 miles south of route 44 and 198 intersection. Go over the
bridge. Go up the long winding hill until you get to a Y intersection. Bear
LEFT. Follow 1/2 mile. Turn LEFT into the GENERAL LYONS BIRTH PLACE.
Remember the solution to this riddle
maybe inside or outside of woods!
THE RIDDLE:
Round as an apple,
Tall as a gun,
Pull on it's tail
and it's nose will run.
When you find the answer to this
riddle stand beside it, facing EAST.
Take 23 paces (Left foot
count)
There are a couple of directions you
could take.
Take a reading of 200 degrees and walk
until you pass an oblong bolder on your left. The man in the moon is also
watching from the left.
Follow straight ahead.
Slow down by the tree w/ 2 belly
buttons.
Look in the roots of a fallen tree for
your treasure!
