****Reported Missing 12/26/2007****
This is the 7th in a series of kid and adult friendly boxes celebrating classic toys.
The crayon letterbox is located on the Nature Trails off of Route 6A.
To get there:
From Route 6, take Exit 8. Head towards Union Street (Yarmouth Port.) When you reach the blinking stop light at the end of Union Street, take a left onto Route 6A. You'll drive by the Yarmouth Port Library (where the Scrabble Toy Box resides) and Strawberry Lane with the Edward Gorey House. Shortly after Strawberry Lane, you will see the Yarmouth Port Post Office and immediately after a road that leads to the trails. The parking area was under construction when I went, but you could still park there. At the beginning of the trails, there is a gate house. Your search starts here.
The Historical Society requests a $0.25 donation for children and a $0.50 donation for adults. You should also pick up a trail guide from the mail box next to the door.
Walk around the garden to the left of the house and around the fence with the "Visitors Notice" and "Dogs Must be on Leash" signs. Head down the gravel path and turn left where the arrow points. You are now on the trail and will start seeing numbered markers. To stay on this main trail, make sure you are seeing some trees with white paint marks on them.
After you pass 6, you will climb up hill. At 7, have a seat on the bench. There is a black oak next to you surrounded by a rhododendron. At the base of the oak under a rock, you will find the Crayon Letterbox.
You can continue down the trails. It will eventually loop around and end at Kelley Chapel. Lightning Bug and I got pretty lost though, so make sure you are on the trail with the markers and the white painted trees. You can always turn around after you find the box. Either way, make sure you have your crayons so that you can draw pictures of the colorful vegetation surrounding the trails.
You can also look for our Unless Letterbox on the same trail.
