A little doodle of a hike, covering 2 easy miles in one hour for a single
letterbox.

Sketchy Directions: From I95 in Groton, CT, take exit 86 and draw a line
north on CT Rte. 12 for 6.7 miles. Scribble right on Rte. 214 East, then
after 2.7 miles, right again on Rte. 117 East. In 0.4 miles, go left on
Colonel Ledyard Highway, then after 0.5 miles turn right on Blonders Rd.
Follow the road into the park, and pass by the fields to park down at the
Pavilion. Walk south past the tennis courts and turn right to the marked
trail heading west.

Dash off down the trail and draw left (south) at the loop intersection for a
clockwise circle. Brush past the first bench and info board and follow the
painted blazes around the trail. At the third bench, stop and enjoy the
artistic view, then scrawl across the trail at 150 to peek under a low
overhanging rock. Finish your doodling composition by completing the loop.
