DESCRIBED BY NATIONAL GEODETIC SURVEY 1985 5.1 KM (3.2 MI) NORTH FROM GEORGETOWN. 5.1 KM (3.2 MI) NORTH ALONG STATE HIGHWAY 107 FROM THE JUNCTION OF U.S. HIGHWAY 7 IN GEORGETOWN TO THE MARK ON THE RIGHT, 9.2 METERS (30.5 FT) EAST OF THE CENTERLINE OF THE HIGHWAY, 12.4 METERS (41.0 FT) SOUTHWEST OF THE CENTER OF GLEN HILL LANE. THE MARK IS 0.30 M ABOVE HIGHWAY.
Follow the description carefully, as there are two culverts in this location. It is not set in the Nob Crook Brook culvert, it's in the one nearest the junction. There is a witness post.
CT Route 107 is a narrow, heavily traveled road, and vehicle parking is scarce. However, there is a small siding between the two culverts, on the south side of the road. Plan ahead and be careful!
This mark is listed both here and at the Geocaching site as well. Please consider logging it in both sites. Thank you.
