9/10/2020.......Adopted once again. One of the boxes lives on. Pond box is retired and original logbook from Grave Yard is dried out and will be returned along with new container.

Rescued from the LbNA basement, these boxes sadly do not have hand-carved stamps, but there are so few boxes New Canaan that I thought they deserved to live. Box #2 is still a little damp, so if anyone lives locally and can take it home for a day or two to dry out, that would be great. Box #1 was in such disastrous shape that the wood from the stamp completely rotted off - it still stamps well, though.

Everything below is from the original clues:

DIRECTIONS From the Merritt Parkway (route 15) NORTH:
Get off exit 38 in Norwalk, at the traffic Light turn Right onto route 123 north. Travel to the forth traffic Light in new canaan. Turn Left onto east ave. ( 106 south)
Then another Left onto Millport Ave.


DIRECTIONS from the Meritt parkway (route 15 ) SOUTH:
Get off exit 38 in Norwalk, at the traffic Light turn Left onto Route 123 north, travel to the second traffic light in New canaan, Then turn Left onto East Ave ( 106 south) the another Left onto Millport Ave.


CLUES:

Once you are on Millport Ave, there will be a pond on your Left. Find a place to park your car somewhere along the pond. Look for the Boardwalk near the end of the pond. Walk over the boardwalk, (notice a small waterfall under the boardwalk) Once over the boardwalk, Follow the trail to the Left, The pond will be on your Left. Follow the trail. When you come to the end of the trail, there will be a house on your Left across a very small stream and a stone wall infront of you. The stone wall starts from the stream and goes up hill. Now follow the stone wall up hill. The stone wall will join with another stone wall. at the corner where the two walls meet is where you will find the POND LETTERBOX tucked under a rock. Once found, please stamp, sign and re-hide, Now Retrace your steps back to the boardwalk. Once back at the boardwalk, walk to the street. now follow the street Left to an intersection where Millport ave and Lakeview ave meets. ( this is a very short walk ) Then follow Lakeveiw ave Left, over a small bridge. just after the bridge, Across the street you will see an entrance to a grave yard, Now walk to the entrance. Once in the grave yard, a stone wall will be facing you. THE GRAVE YARD LETTERBOX is hidden in the stone wall Guarded by FRANCIS POTTS and ADALINE M. NICHOLS
Please try not to disturb them, they are resting in peace.

THE END
