The cache is a full-size ammo box located on town property near the Van Wie Woods of the Branford Land Trust. There are several ways to get there, but we suggest the trailhead on Flat Rock Road, immediately on the right side of the driveway of 32 Flat Rock Road. Easiest parking is across the street on Whitewood Drive. (The site can also be reached through trailheads on Quarry Road and Red Hill Road).
This involves an easy hike through the woods a bit under a mile, initially on the green trail. Note that the trail bears to the right soon after you pass a clearing and enter the woods, and you will be walking directly AWAY from the cache for a period of time. Once you go down a hill and cross a wooden bridge, you will be walking toward the cache, and the trail will bring you very close to ground zero.
A bit above the cache is a cave that the kids will enjoy exploring. Enjoy!
