Go on a letterbox adventure and then enjoy an afternoon playing in a park. Sorry, no dogs!

Replaced with new stamp - most stars are gone - 7-7-07
Stamp gone 2-3-08

Rated: This box is an easy find, it is for young kids. The clues are VERY long -to go with the Dora Show but it will only take 5-10 minutes. There is undergrowth, poison ivy found so please take precautions. A bit wet due to the rains. BUG SPRAY is NECESSARY!

Stamp: Hand Carved

Directions: Take 495 to exit 20 Rt. 85. Head toward Hopkinton on Rt. 85. The EMC2 Park will be on your right a few miles after you enter Hopkinton. Turn down the dirt road and park by the playground. Begin at the tire swing.

Clues:
Dora is looking for a letterbox at EMC2 Park and she needs your help! Dora knows the letterbox is hidden in a rock wall, but where is the wall?

Who do we ask for help when we do not know which way to go?
The Map. Right!
Will you check the map on how to get to the rock wall?
You have to say Map.

music
If there's a place you need to go. I'm the one you need to know. I'm the Map. I'm the Map. I'm the Map. ... ...

You need to get to the rock wall.
I know how to get to the rock wall.
First, you go through the PLAYGROUND.
Then, you go over the HILL,
and that's how you get to the ROCK WALL.
So you tell Dora:
Playground, Hill, Rock Wall
Say it with me.
Playground, Hill, Rock Wall

Do you see the playground?
Great! Go through the playground.
OH NO! A friendly family of hobbits live under the playground and they will not let you through unless you slide down each of the slides. (10 in all) Have fun!

Did you go down all of the slides?
Great! You have made the hobbits very happy. They will stay in their home under the playground.

Where do we go next?
The hill. Right!
Climb to the top of the hill. Count your steps from the bottom to the top. At the top of the hill shout out your number. Remember this number so you can record it in the logbook when you find the letterbox.

Where do we go next?
The rock wall. Right!
At the top of the hill you will need your compass. Will you check your backpack and find a compass.
Say Backpack, Say Backpack.

music
Backpack, Backpack, Backpack
I'm the one that loaded up with things and nick knacks too. Anything that you might need I've got inside for you.
Backpack, Backpack, Backpack, Backpack, Yeah!
Find the compass.

Walk down the hill toward the woods at 190 degrees. Look for Dora's STARS on the trees.
(If you do not have a compass, look for Dora's stars on a tree along the edge of the woods and walk to it.)
Dora's stars will guide you to the rock wall.
Look for the YELLOW STARS and follow them.
Once you have found the rock wall continue to follow the YELLOW STARS along the wall until it intersects with another rock wall. Here you will find Dora's Adventure Letterbox.
(If the stars are gone, walk straight into the woods approximately 190 degrees about 30-50 yards and you will find the intersecting rock walls.)

music
You did it. You did it. You did it. Yea!
You went through the playground
and over the hill.
You did it. You did it. You did it. Hooray!
You followed Dora's stars
to the rock wall.
You did it. You did it. You did it. Yea!
You found the box
hidden in the rocks.
You did it. Hooray! Wooo! Yea! You did it.

What was your favorite part of the letterbox adventure?
I liked that too.
My favorite part was sliding down all the slides.
Thanks for looking!
