Fox in the Forest

Location: Douglas,MA County: Worcester
Date of Placement: 7/26/02
Placed By: The Terrapin Traveliers
Rating: Hike is moderate to difficult. Be sure to bring water, and remember
your route. There were no trail maps to take along with you at the
trailhead.

Clues:
Take Interstate 395 to exit number 2, then head towards Douglas. Just past
the Indian Ranch Campground take the left and follow Route 16 towards
Douglas. Travel 1.5 miles past the Douglas town line and find the trailhead
on your right (southside). This is where you will begin your search. You
can count the blazes or step the paces.
1. Take heading of 240 degrees from the trailhead map. You may NOT take
your motorized vehicle on the trail.
2. 330 paces follow as trail bears to the left.
3. Dirt road, 23 paces to trail marker at right (total 10 blazes).
4. At 450 paces, look for Mid-State Trail marker on left. Follow trail to
the left (13 blazes).
5. At 200 paces to the final clue (8 blazes)
6. You will see a hallway made of two large boulders. The correct rock is
the one that wears the blaze as its badge. On it's south side you will find
a small pile of rocks--the fox is hiding beneath!

Note to Letterboxing.org webmaster--please correct your posting for Terrapin
Traveliers--It is not Travelers (which is how it was posted), which may
cause confusion if someone attempts to e-mail us looking for information
regarding our clues. Thank you for your help!
