CT Bozrah Name LBs

From: (boatsing@msn.com) | Date: 2002-08-12 22:40:28 UTC-04:00
Finding both LBs in the Bear Hill Wildlife Mgmnt area proved a challenge.  We were able to locate the first one (Dyeg Garments), but the second eluded us.
We searched in a few stone walls that were "immediately ahead" of a cairn on the left, but no luck.
 
Has anyone found the "Boazrah Sheel on a Hill" lately?
 
Thanks

I found the Sheep on the Hill on July 27, 2002.  It is quite tricky.  One quick note is that if you don't find the obvious cairn, then you're looking in the wrong place!  We found that out when we looked for an hour in the wrong place (sigh).  Just as you get into the woods, there is a group of boulders on your left, then many stone walls.  There are even paths to these stone walls, suggesting that people had trodded there looking for the boxes.  THIS IS THE WRONG PLACE!  You need to go quite far into the woods to a very obvious cairn and look in the stone wall behind it.  Also, it is not really the correct pacing from the path as the clues present.  It is more like about four feet (perhaps seven small steps rather than paces).

Hope this helps!

We thought we were in the right place when we saw the boulders.  But when we found the "obvious cairn" we KNEW we were in the right place.  But now luck, and certainly if the paces were smaller distance, then we definitely were off.
 
We will wait for a little cooler weather before another attempt.

I am really sorry to have posted this reponse as a broadcast.  I know that clue hints or discussions are not proper.  I meant to repond to the hint because we did have a difficult time and I wanted to verify the existence of the LB.
