*****THIS BOX HAS GONE MISSING AS OF 11/18/2005*****
I don't want to admit it any more than the next one, but for one reason or another, this box is not here anymore. I went out and checked, but there is no sign of it. I will replace this box as soon as I can, though I may need to change the location/name of it, but will post here when that happens. sorry to any who planned to look and now can not.
This is my first letterbox, as well as the first of this theme (hopefully more to follow), so have fun and here goes…
First, find Keyes Park in Milford. It is located on Elm Street, with its entrance between a chiropractor and a cemetary. This is a pretty nice town park, complete with playground, swimming pool, ball fields, and skate park. Go ahead and park in the lot, and head towards the big metal bridge. This bridge goes over the Souhegan river, connecting the park to the Boys and Girls club parking lot. There are also several trails on this side of the bridge. You will want to take the trail to your right.
The trail for the most part follows along the riverbank, and is real pretty. As you walk, you will come to a point where the trail “forks”, one going left and high, the other going right and low. Pick either one of these because they come back together about 10 feet later. Further on down on the right, there are a few pine trees with their roots heavily exposed. I thought it was pretty cool, but you can see from it how much this bank has eroded over time. Keep on walking down the trail, and eventually you will come to a real fork in the trail, one going left, the other going straight ahead to a big old tree with a rope swing hanging from it. Go ahead and have a swing on it if you like, just make sure to bring your bathing suit.
At the base of the rope swing tree, face north. If you were to walk straight, you would eventually walk right into its hiding spot. You would find two very large oak trees sharing the same base, growing at angles opposite one another. At one point in time, a third oak also shared the base, but has since fallen and what remains of this third tree lays on the ground next to it covered in mushrooms and fungus – kind of what you would expect to see a frog sitting on. Behind, near the base of the trees is your prize.
Alternately, if you don’t want to walk through the forest and trees, continue back on the trail from where you came, and take the trail on your right. The trees in question are located along this trail.
Happy hunting!
