Hand carved stamps.
Dogs ok. 10 minute walk or so.
Cape Cod, Massachusetts: Oyster Island. Was it called Oyster Island for its oyster shape or because of the local oyster industry? I don't know but I heard the town of Oysterville was changed to Osterville when the fancy set moved in. Osterville is now a pretty little town west of Hyannis.
Two letterboxes. Not a breathtaking view or spectacular park, just a walk in the woods and nice little town.
Drive east on Main Street past Breaking Grounds on the right (maybe the best coffee you'll ever have) and the Wimpy burger restaurant on the left. "I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today." Just outside of town turn left on Old Mill Road. After a short way on your left is a cemetery. Pull in and drive all the way up the hill and park.
(May I suggest that you stop here and do Winged Death's Head and The Empty Tomb first. Then do this, The Empty Tomb, and The Doomed Deacon at the same time.)
Oyster
Walk along in the same direction as the road and it will lead you to a path into the woods. Last I was there they had made dirt mounds in front of the path to discourage vehicles. Take the path into the woods. You'll continue past a smaller trail to the left and on down to the bottom of the hill to a large intersection. Turn left. Follow this to the pond. Continue on the path around past the edge of the pond and back into the woods. You'll pass two large wood bollards stuck in the path to discourage vehicles. Just past these is a small trail going to the left. Stop at this intersection and look behind you to the left. There is a large pine there behind which you should look under leaves and a rock.
After stamping in, walk back and enjoy the pond. Throw sticks in the water for the dog. Wander through the cemetery. For extra credit see if you can find Pilot, and Little Pilot the dog's white headstones in the center of the area.
Oyster Pearl - Missing
Drive back towards Osterville and turn into Armstrong-Kelly Park on the right. Grab a snack and a drink from the market across the street.
Enjoy walking the Trails in the back of the park. TakeAWalk to Heather's Hillside. Follow the path around to the Critter's Christmas Tree area. Look in the back behind a small gray tree at 2 o'clock under a rock and leaves.
This park has a lot of gardening going on and is a work in progress subject to change. Let me know if it changes too much to find, or goes missing. Please bring your own stamp pad.
