Description
This unique Quest takes you into the woods (note: even off-trail at times!) of Thetford Hill State Park, hunting for relic fireplaces left over from…you’ll have to do the Quest to find out! Each fireplace that you find has a set of clues that will lead you to the next fireplace, so the clues you’ll download here provide an intro and directions to the first box only. Find the sequential clues (and a stamp!) at each of the other five fireplaces. Collect all stamps for an image of the final, 7th, box location.
This is a very unique, very fun new Quest we’re thrilled to share with you!
