Distance: Less than 1/2 mile round trip.
Next you will pass a path merging from the right and you will see a cemetery straight ahead. Just before the cemetery will be a path leading to the left that follows the water's edge. Take this path along the water.
The path you are on will disappear and you should be walking along a nice grassy area. Soon the shoreline will curve to the right and you should too. No need to bushwack or get wet. Within a few steps you will be passing a Rhodadendron.
After you pass the Rhodadendron look for a set of 10 commandment shaped tablets in memory of Boardman and Hannah. Facing the tablets, look over them towards the water. Slightly to the left you will see a very large tree approximately 10 feet into the woods. At the base of the tree you will find the Lake Quannapowitt letterbox. Please rehide carefully.
