Flat Stanley has gone missing on the Connecticut portion of the New England Trail (NET) and we need your help to find him. Join us for a fun adventure as we embark on a scavenger hunt and search for clues to find the hidden CT Flat Stanley letterbox.  Find Flat Stanley as we hike the NET and have your picture taken with him to be entered into a random drawing for a CT Walk Book. Fun for all ages. Bring your own letterbox and journal if you have one or borrow one of ours. Wear waterproof/ comfortable shoes; bring your camera (optional).  Stay tuned for Flat Stanley's CT Outdoor Adventure # 4 during the last weekend of June.
