CommentLocated 200 feet southeast of Post Road - Route #1 on the Ninigret Wildlife Refuge (formerly the Naval Auxillary Air Station and in the 1950s our drag strip). It is over the stone wall at pole 930, 50 ft in woods. Enter 400 ft west of where Prosser Trail intersects Route #1 at the telephone pole line south of Route #1. Stone wall on 3 sides (N,S,W). This is a favorite sunning location for black snakes.
