Hello--
It is hunting season--wear blaze orange just in case. Pheasant,duck
and goose season is open--also deer season. I'm not sure that there
is hunting allowed in all the areas you would be going to in Hampton,
be prepared just in case. As far as a quaint place in Hampton, can't
think of any off hand-- You'll probably have to venture somewhere
else for a nice place--Pomfret has some nice places..and Letterboxes
too!
Good luck Letterboxing!! Irish Mum

I hunted for Trailwood's Back Door on 11/2, and I found that some
revisions are needed to the directions. I hope this will help
future letterboxers.

Being the recipient of donated labor and materials from a
corporation, Trailwood now has a nice new bridge where the clues say
no bridge here. Enjoy the safe and easy crossing of the stream.

There is a change needed after the bridge, where the clues say bear
left (actually mostly straight). Following the path to the second
stone wall brings you to Griffin Rd, about 200 feet east of the
railroad crossing, within sight of your car. This path is
preferable to the railroad route. It saves about one mile of
walking. The path is all on Trailwood's property.

If you instead turn right after crossing the bridge, you will come
to more likely looking stone walls.

I looked for the box in a stone wall, but did not find it. After I
left I realized I was looking in the wrong stone wall (duh). As
McArthur said, I shall return.

The eatery I can recommend is the Vanilla Bean Cafe in nearby
Pomfret. I have enjoyed my meals there. Check the hours before you
go.
