This box is Retired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Easy – 15 minutes
There is no ink pad included in the box.

This letterbox stamp was hand carved by our nine-year old and then hidden near one of her favorite playgrounds in Chelmsford MA. The letterbox is located at Roberts Field at 266 Old Westford Road. Park in the Roberts Field Parking lot. Find the red brick path that runs between the playground and the small convenience store.
Follow the red brick path into the playground passing under the roof. Take note of the TOTAL number of swings in the playground. Make sure to count them all. Continue walking through the playground passing the curvy slide and exiting the playground through the opening in the fence on the left. Take a right. Pass by the ball field which should be on your left and head to the rusty soccer goal at the far right of the field. Walk up to the goal’s support post closest to the playground to where it meets the ground (the support post is the pipe that comes down at an angle toward the back of the net). Now, standing at that support post, look between the other support post and goal post of the same net to create a viewfinder. Looking through this will align you with the entrance to the woods in the background. Take the path into the woods straight for approximately 75 steps. You should see a HUGE boulder on your left. Continue on down the path approximately 25 more steps until you are under 2 dead branches that overhang the path that are part of a giant 4 trunk tree. While standing under these branches, turn around and face back from where you came. How many swings are there in the playground? Take that many steps back. On the left, 3 steps from the path, there is a tree. There is a rock next to the tree. Standing on the rock, remove the loose piece of wood from the hole and find your prize.

Bring your own inkpad- Replace carefully re-hide well.
