Jared the Rockwell Raptor
Planted by Rubaduc 9-29-02

Easy walk:
This box is planted (at his favorite park) for my 5 year old letterboxing
grandson, Jared, who is stronger, faster and more energetic than any
raptor I ever met.

Directions to Rockwell Park: In Bristol, on Rt. 72 west go 0.6 mi. past
the Rt. 69 intersection, turning right onto Dutton Ave. park in front of
the playground.

The usual routine of playing on the swings etc. comes first and then
follow the sidewalk north through the white gate and over the bridge,
turning left onto the fitness circuit. The large stone building straight
ahead of you when crossing the bridge once housed changing rooms and
concession stand when this was a swimming spot. Once on the gravel
circuit you'll see a good stamping in table on your left and a smaller
stone building ahead of you. Head towards this smaller building, making a
sharp right turn before coming to the steps going up the hill. At the
tree in the turn, count 18 steps and look to your left for a tree trunk
with a chunk of cement on top of it. Just behind it, under more cement
you will find Jared's hiding place. Being careful not to let Jared get a
piece of you, stamp in and rehide without being seen. This is a very
popular walking path, so be especially cautious. As you start to go
right, back to your car, look to your left and you'll see an old spring
house where people came from miles around to get fresh water. It closed
recently because of pollution.
