I have adopted these boxes to maintain them If they are your boxes, please email me at amymisha@comcast.net. Also, I will not be able to check on these boxes as often as I want to, as I now live 3 1/2 hours away. Box two has been reported as missing, I'll check on it when I get to Boothbay again. YMMV!!!
Thanks,
Amy

As of July, 2002: The Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens is a relatively new institution; new trail systems are being built, and the old ones being blazed. Don't be misled from your appointed trail! Also, please stay on the trails as much as possible. I have tried to make my
letterboxes in this area either close to the trail, or off the trail in an area that will not be drastically damaged by light foot-traffic. Be respectful of the ground-cover and of the potential for soil erosion.
DIRECTIONS:
"From Rt. 1 take Rt. 27 to Boothbay Center Monument. Bear right onto Corey Lane. Take next right, Barter's Island Road. Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens is one mile on the left."
CLUES:
Begin your search on the northernmost entrance to the Shore Trail. Follow this trail through the woods, pasta fern garden on the right, and over a footbridge. Take the opportunity to calibrate your paces - there are four between each vertical rail on the bridge (the Shipwright has a short stride!). As the trail bends directly after the footbridge, look for a mossy rise on the left. The Flying Bird letterbox nests beneath a fallen log upon this mossy stone.
Return to the trail. At the fork, follow it to the left (keeping left at the subsequent fork, as well), passing two cairns on the right - add a stone if you're so inclined. At the second of these cairns, notice two standing stones through the trees at 170 degrees. The Moon-
on-the-River Letterbox gazes skyward within an opened pine, ten paces at 180 degrees from the larger of these standing stones.
Return again to the Shore Walk trail, following it along the river and around a bend or two. As you return inland, you will see an old pine tree on the right, perched upon granite. Find a tapering gap between rock and tree. The White Pine Letterbox rests its roots here."
