In Search of The Ghost of Annabel Lee

Placed: 7-4-05
Placed By: WWW (Formerly known as Chuck and Molly)
Location: Hampton Connecticut, Windham County
Rated: Easy. About ½ mile round trip, wide trail, 1 good sized hill.

From the intersection of route 6 and route 198 in Chaplin, head east on route 6. Pass Potter Road, which is the main entrance to Goodwin Forest. Go an additional 3/10 of a mile and take the first left which is "West Old Rt. 6". Go down this road 4/10 of a mile. On the left is a pull in section that can hold a few cars. Park your vehicle here.

Get out and go around the green metal gate. Bear left quickly and pass a sign on the right for Brown Hill Marsh. It’s worth going up and taking a look but that has nothing to do with the clues. Stay on the trail, which is a wide old dirt road. There is a stone wall that runs alongside the road on the left. You will pass a trail that goes off to the right. The stone wall on the left ends. You’ll pass an open field on the right. Next the trail starts going downhill. Nearing the bottom of the hill look for a man made post on the left and right of the road. Go to the post on the left and take a reading of 220 degrees. Walk 59 steps off trail to a chest high stump. From the right side of this stump, take a reading of 265 degrees and take 23 steps to a waist high twin sister stump. From that stump take a reading of 150 degrees and walk to the large rock to find the "In Search of The Ghost of Annabel Lee" letterbox. After stamping in, walk the same way back to your vehicle.

Before you set out, please read the waiver of responsibility and disclaimer.
