Not far
from where a short line railroad once ran near Sarah's Boarding
house stands this 1937 honor to an significant event that
took place about 60 years earlier, give or take one or two.
On the west side of where Middlesex abruptly ends is the
trail that begins your trek in search of past events that
shaped the world today.
Continue ahead and through an intersection and past a "T".
At the first "Y", go at 210 degrees.
At the next "Y", take the path at 260 degrees.
In the clearing, at the intersection of many paths, take
the one to the south through the sawed tree and stay
on the lower trail to the next "Y".
Continue forward and count the very next 3 big trees,
closest to the trail on the right.
From the third tree, count 9 paces and from there, at 250
degrees, count 14 paces and there you'll find your first
event.
Return to the trail you just counted from, go left and
in reverse.
Continue through the sawed tree again and go left and over
the creek.
From the towering "V" at the creek's edge on the left, count
33 paces to another smaller "V", to the next event.
Retrace your steps and return once more to the big intersection
and take the path at 36 degrees.
Continue to the second 70 degrees fork.
From the center there, count 19 paces and then 5 to the
left. Something awaits you there.
Continue on the Northeast trail and take the turn at 60
degrees, the one with the slight rise.
You know in that game of hot and cold? As you pass the
sawed tree; it's a different one, I swear!, your left knee
feels the burn.
You can easily leave from here. Continue ahead on this
past and at the intersection, turn at 60 degrees. |
