The Soccer Challenge series
Planted by Will (age 11)
easy half hour walk
Find the Malerbo Soccer Field at 441 Emmett St. in the Forestville
section of Bristol off Rt. 72. Enter the driveway and park straight
ahead near a sign board. Take the path to the right of the sign that says
Pine Lake Challenge Course. At the first fork stay left and follow the
main trail, cross over a wooden bridge, ignoring the path on the right
and climb over a log to cross over another wooden bridge. Stay straight
on the main path and soon you'll see glimpses of the challenge course on
your left. Investigate if you wish (if it's not in use) but the treasure
lies ahead of you.. When you come to a gravel path, turn right and cross
over a cement pipe bridge built by Pepin Steel and Iron Works (the sign
says so). Once over the bridge, the gravel way goes straight you want the
wood chips path on your right and ahead of you, you will see logs on both
sides of the trail. At the far end of the log on the left, you will find
The Mutant Swamp Frog Letterbox. Stamp in, carefully re hide the box and
retrace your steps back to your car.
Now head towards the soccer fields, taking a moment to read the plaque at
the flagpole, then follow the fence to the right. At the next corner turn
left, being considerate if a game's in progress, and soon you'll be on a
sandy path. At the next corner turn left once more and watch for the
place where the fence becomes lower, also marked by a pine tree on the
right. Here on the right you'll see a path and 11 steps into the woods on
your left you'll find the Soccer Challenge Letterbox (the stamp was my
first signature stamp) in an upright log.
Be careful not to be seen. Hope you had a good time.
