FULL MOON SERIES
This series of twelve boxes will be placed over the course of the year in celebration of each month’s full moon.
The full moon in January 2007 is on February 2rd at 12:45 am
Full Moon names date back to Native Americans, of what is now the northern and eastern United States. The tribes kept track of the seasons by giving distinctive names to each recurring full Moon. Their names were applied to the entire month in which each occurred. There was some variation in the Moon names, but in general, the same ones were current throughout the Algonquin tribes from New England to Lake Superior. European settlers followed that custom and created some of their own names. Since the lunar month is only 29 days long on the average, the full Moon dates shift from year to year. Farmer’s Alamanac
• Full Snow Moon - February Since the heaviest snow usually falls during this month, native tribes of the north and east most often called February's full Moon the Full Snow Moon. Some tribes also referred to this Moon as the Full Hunger Moon, since harsh weather conditions in their areas made hunting very difficult.
Travel to Watery Hill (World War I Memorial Park), in North Attleboro. Park and begin at the stone memorial near the ski lift. Walk to the ski lift and down the ski lift cable line.
When you reach pole #2 you will see on your right a grouping of small pines. You will see two trees forming a large U.
Walk to the U. You will now see a small path on the right. Take the path, there is a rock outcropping on your right. Keeping the outcropping on your right, carefully follow the path down (it is very rocky ground).
When you see the tree ahead that forms the V walk until you see on your right a 3 stumped tree along the edge of the outcropping.
Walk one step beyond the 3 stumped tree. Turn and face the hill. Directly in front of you there is a cluster of rocks with a small tree growing from the top. At the base of the small tree behind the red rocks you will find the Full Snow Moon letterbox.
