Well Ben, that will be difficult. I and some others (can't quite remember who), found a house site at Calico. But remembering the details of which forks to take and where to turn is difficult.
I'll try and remember. I know the first thing to do is to go down the road I call the Harrisville-Martha Road. You turn across from the Harrisville paper mill ruins. Just a little bit before you get to the Martha Furnace ruins, which are inside a fence, turn right. You'll know you are on the right track because you should start to see pink blazes on the trees. That means you are on the Batona Trail, which is correct.
Then you will get to another road where you can turn right or left. Turn left there. That's the Calico-Warren Grove Road. I believe you need to take the next left and then turn right into the house site almost right away. That house site is in Calico.
If you don't make that left, but stay on the Calico-Warren Grove Road, then you can bear right at a fork (or it's a right turn, I can't remember), which will be Oswego Road. Along there on your right will be the Ellis Adams Farmhouse site, which Father Beck visited, with Ellis Adams' grandson. That's near, but not in, Calico.
In my Yahoo group you can go into messages, and use the search function to find the old message where I posted the exact mileages and turnoffs to the Ellis Adams Farmhouse site.
Sorry about the sketchy details, but I'm working from memory with a little help from my DeLorme atlas, which is on a relatively small scale.
I'm always having trouble remembering the details in finding these sites.
Then I go and try and find them again and sometimes I get it right the first time.
